Why We Should Teach Hearing Health In Elementary Schools

A few years ago I visited my son’s 1st grade classroom as part of Family Time. This was a monthly event where different children’s parents would visit the classroom to share something special about their family. Many parents chose to share a special holiday celebration, or something about their country of origin. But I decided to talk about hearing loss — my hearing loss — and hearing loss prevention.
It was a bit of a risky topic since there were was no special food to try or special song to sing, but I discussed it with the teachers and we decided to give it a try. It was a great success! Even today (4 years later), some of the students in the class still ask their parents to provide them with earplugs whenever things get loud. I know this because the parents email me about it.
I am not an educator, so for my presentation, I borrowed liberally from public sources including a video from Dangerous Decibels
Hi Glynis ! I just wondered if you could give me some info on the " TinniTool system " as it claims to improve Tinnitus, Morbus, ear pressure and Meniere's disease ? All this is done by a Medi-laser emits a 650 laser beam to a " ear tool fibre optic headset " ? Enough said, at over £300s it isn't cheap and the company don't offer a guarantee. But, when you think about it from the other way around, no company would offer such a guarantee because it means taking the patient's word as truth as Tinnitus is a subjective experience for all inflicted with phantom sounds in the ear or head.
Could you let me know if you've heard of this new treatment,
