October 30 to March 20 of 2013 will bring the interactive exhibition "Unheard of,
an adventure in hearing" to the Chilean capital, Santiago. The venue for the show will be the National
History Museum in the traditional district of Quinta
Normal.
The touring exhibition aims to create awareness on
how hearing works, on caring for it, and the importance of hearing health. Families are invited to play
and enjoy experiences via 20 interactive modules
which follow the route of sound from the moment
the ear perceives it until sound waves reach the
brain.
Brought to Chile by Gaes Hearing Centres, the show
has already toured Spain, Portugal, and Argentina,
the latter leg attracting visits from over one hundred
thousand people.
Hearing, according to a Gaes survey carried out
across the country, is the second most important
sense for people in Chile, while 83% of those surveyed believe they live in a noisy city.
