Deaf Awareness Week

This year I got involved with Deaf Awareness Week at Middlesbrough College. James Harris and I assisted a H&S staff member named Malcolm to educate the college pupils about how their music listening could be effecting their hearing.

We managed to set up a stall and test the volume level of music each pupil was listening to. We then calculated the amount of time the pupil could listen to their music before the hairs in their ears fall down permanently (causing deafness). We then informed the pupils and educated them about it.

as you can see I was looking at the infamous "tongue cleaner" device at this time :3 also incase anyone is wondering, I'm using a Linux based distribution on my laptop called Zorin OS. 
 For more information on deafness and how to prevent it... just google it you lazy sloth! I can't do all your research for you! Live long and prosper.
