Boy with large "bionic" ear

A unique interactive show that reveals the complex machinery that lies deep inside the ear, how it helps us hear sounds and music, what causes it to break down, and whether scientists can replace the parts to create an artificial ear.

During the show, the presenter builds the world’s largest ear on stage – a huge outer ear on one side and a giant brain on the other. In between, interactive demonstrations and models illustrate every stage of the hearing process.

"One of the best educational shows I've seen in years ... exemplary in content, visual presentation and delivery."
