πŸ‘‚ Did you know middle ear infections (otitis media) are a leading cause of hearing loss in children?

At Ear Science, our researchers are developing an innovative drug-infused scaffold that will deliver a targeted treatment directly into the middle ear, fighting infections early and effectively.

Thanks to the CellCYTE X live cell and spheroid imaging system, kindly provided through a Telethon7 Perth equipment grant, our team can better study and combat ear infections, helping prevent hearing loss in Western Australian children πŸ’™

Earlier this month, our Ear Science Healthy Hearing Outback Program hosted the Kunyjunyu Kurlka (Healthy Ears) event at the Jigalong Youth Centre. πŸ‘‚

A huge thank you to Mineral Resources for generously supporting the day with a delicious BBQ, cooked up by the amazing Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service Tackling Indigenous Smoking team, and our wonderful Community Liaison Officer, Revina! πŸ’™ We were also joined by Bec from the MinRes Health Centre team who helped make the afternoon a success. The kids loved playing 'Pin the Kurlka on the Bilby', and we all enjoyed connecting with the Jigalong community outside of our usual clinic setting.

Events like these are all about coming together, having fun, building connections and raising awareness for strong ear and hearing health across the communities we serve.
