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.

2026 Dinner Meeting: 20nd August

The Kiwanis Club of Klang hosted its August dinner meeting on 20 August 2026, welcoming members, guests, and friends for an evening of fellowship and inspiration. The highlight of the night was the presence of Mo Zidan, an international keynote speaker, professor, and corporate communication strategist with over two decades of global experience. Mo delivered a captivating keynote on “Communication in the Modern World”. Drawing from his extensive work across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, he emphasized the irreplaceable role of human empathy, respect, and connection in communication. While artificial intelligence can process information and simulate dialogue, Mo reminded us that true communication requires emotional intelligence, cultural sensitivity, and genuine human presence. The evening concluded with warm appreciation for Mo Zidan’s contribution. May we all be inspired to carry forward the principles of humane communication in our daily interactions, reinforcing the values of respect, clarity, and compassion that lie at the heart of Kiwanis service. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPuqmhMcCq0
