Did you see the Earbus team at the Teddy Bear's Picnic at Murray Districts Playgroup today? They were peering in little ears - including a few teddies! Earbus Nurse, Richard Jenkins was happy to report that Rainbow Ted's ears were in great condition and a lovely day was had by all. #earbus #heartoday #shinetomorrow #hearinghealth #community #teddybearspicnic #rainbowted Alcoa Shire of Murray

Earbus Foundation is delighted to recognise our longstanding partnership with AngloGold Ashanti Australia, which has made a significant impact in the Goldfields region since 2014. We were invited to celebrate this exciting milestone with a morning tea, where Earbus co-founder & CEO Dr Lara Shur shared insights about the work being done throughout the region. The Goldfields Program provides ear health screenings, treatment, and surveillance through dedicated teams of doctors, audiologists, nurses, and ENT specialists. Our clinical team travels to the Goldfields every month, providing essential hearing health services for Aboriginal and at-risk children in schools, daycares, early learning centres, kindergartens and remote communities. On behalf of the children, families and communities we serve, thank you to everyone at AGAA for a decade of support and collaboration. We appreciate you! #earbus #heartoday #shinetomorrow #earhealth #aboriginalhealth #partnership #milestone

We love this artwork by Norma Benger. It features on the Ear Health pages of Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet - once you hear the accompanying story you'll understand why! "When babies are born in the dry season this is also the time of the birth of the dragonfly, which hums and buzzes around the air, excited about the birth of the new season. The grandmothers catch the dragonflies to test babies' hearing, making them buzz near the babies' ears. When a baby responds, we know that they have good hearing. If not, the old ladies bring the dragonfly closer so the baby can feel the vibration and sound of its wings, then they sing to the spirits and the dragonfly, 'We all must look after this child together to help him to grow and be able to communicate'. So, if you see a dragonfly buzzing around a baby, it is just looking and checking the baby's response because that's what they do. In the past, everyone worked together - dragonflies, grandmothers and the spirits."

Earbus CEO Dr Lara Shur and Executive Director Paul Higginbotham welcomed Nina Kristensen to our offices this week for a quick tour of our Metro Earbus. Nina was visiting from Griffith University, our partners for the Harvey Coates PhD Fellowship being undertaken by Ayesha Zahid. The focus of Ayesha's work is on developing an Otitis media vaccine for Aboriginal and at-risk children. The Metro Earbus has visited schools, daycares and early learning centres across the metropolitan region since 2020. Purpose-built thanks to the generosity of Ansvar Insurance Australia, Fremantle Foundation, Impact100 Fremantle and Impact100WA, the bus is adorned with artwork by students at Moorditj Noongar Community College. #earbus #heartoday #shinetomorrow #research #partnerships #hearinghealth #mobileclinic #closethegap
