KDSF KLANG - Hearing Test @ 14th October 2024

News from Kiwanis Klang

Description

First of all, many thanks to our dear Dato’ Stewart La Brooy for his visit during the hearing test, meeting the person in charge Ms. Nur Aisyah Nadjwa.
Ms. Nur Aisyah Nadjwa, a post graduate student (Master’s) doing her research study titled “Investigating Middle ear Function and its Effects on Real-Ear-To-Coupler Difference (RECD) Measurement Among Children with Down Syndrome (DS).
2.  Most Children with Down Syndrome (DS) have ear anatomy that differs from typically developing children. These differences increase their risk of ear infections. If left untreated, these infections can lead to hearing problems, either temporary or permanent. Hearing aids (HA) are one intervention for patients experiencing hearing issues.
3.  Considering this need, RECD is a test to measure the level of sound pressure within the ear canal, which assists in ensuring that HA is in optimal condition. Due to the different anatomy of children with DS, the existing RECD norms are not suitable for use. Therefore, this study aims to examine the difference in middle ear function among children with DS and their impact on RECD measurements.
4.  To achieve the objectives of this study, several non-invasive procedures that are common practice in Audiology clinics were conducted at the centre. 14 of the children are taking part. Here is some of the photos.

NEW READING SPACE ALERT! | KCV x BFBW x MENARA ALFA 🚀

NEW READING SPACE ALERT! | KCV x BFBW x MENARA ALFA 🚀 Yesterday, we quietly opened our 4th collaboration between Kiwanis Club of Visionaries (KCV) and Books For A Better World Sdn Bhd For A Better World (BFBW)… this time at Menara Alfa, Bangsar. Another cosy corner for the community to discover books, relax, and just breathe a little — all powered by the simple belief that every book deserves a second life, and every person deserves access to stories. Huge thank you to Menara Alfa for partnering with us to make this beautiful reading space a reality. This space is fully self-service, trust-based, and supports BFBW’s literacy mission, where every book purchased helps fund programmes for children and underserved communities. To my amazing KCV team: once again, we did it. One space at a time, we are building a more literate, connected and compassionate Malaysia. If you’re around Bangsar, come visit. Sit, read, recharge. And if you spot me there… I’m probably rearranging books again. 😅

Kiwanis Club of Visionaries meets at Gordon Ramsay!

This month marks a first for Kiwanis Club of Visionaries (KCV)! For the first time ever, our monthly networking session was held at a restaurant, and not just any restaurant… we decided to go a bit ‘atas’ and ended up at Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill! Big shout-out to our new member Jennifer for handling all the arrangements (including the AV system — because even Gordon Ramsay needs proper sound when Kiwanis takes over 😜). As usual, Queen Crystal ruled the mic as our ever-charismatic emcee 👑, while Marilyn, Peggy, Linda, Agnes, Phoebe, Katherine, CJ and Jaime were my amazing helper team, keeping things running smoother than a Gordon soufflé! It was such a joy meeting Matthias, Amanda, Dr. Andrea Chow, Janice, shirley, Jaime Fong and Zachary in person for the first time — and special thanks to Tan Sri Wesley, Kamae, Aimee and Joseph for joining us too! Great food, great laughter, great people…! Next month, we’ll balance things out — how about A&W Drive-In? #KiwanisVisionaries #NetworkingWithPurpose #GordonRamsayBarAndGrill #LeadershipWithHeart #Community #GivingBack #SocialImpact #FromRamsayToRootBeer
