“Music at clubs and concerts is often around 110dB, and some headphones play music that's just as loud when the volume is turned right up."

RNID's Audiology Manager, Franki, spoke to @Mixmag about the link between loud noise and tinnitus, and how to protect your hearing. ⬇️

@whiskas_uk @LygiaHampson That's disappointing.

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

Damn. The government has rejected recommendations to recognise #menopause as a protected characteristic and to pilot menopause leave, because it's worried about discriminating against... men!
Women's healthcare in the UK ranks low and set to get lower...

@AdmiralUK @AdmiralUK please see the DMs I have already sent you multiple times with this information

[Katherine Hardy @KJHardy]

@AdmiralUK, I was on hold for over an hour before getting through. Then was put on hold again. Call was cut off after 2h. Unbelievably infuriating

[Katherine Hardy @KJHardy]

@AdmiralUK Been waiting for a call back for two days. This customer service is terrible and so slow

[Katherine Hardy @KJHardy]

@JACoates Ah no way. I'm mostly remote, but let's catch up next time I'm in the office!

[Katherine Hardy @KJHardy]

I started a new job yesterday! Amazing to pop into the office and meet the team #medcomms

Important PSA about hearing loss caused by loud music 👂🎶

[NME @NME]

The musician has highlighted the importance of "hearing loss prevention and protection" in a new public service announcement https://t.co/4Xx0DTHdZK

[Katherine Hardy @KJHardy]

@JACoates Depends where you apply and it's always possible to negotiate! You got this!

[Katherine Hardy @KJHardy]

@JACoates More senior med Comms roles require experience in the field. I imagine that some companies won't make you start from the beginning, but nonetheless progression can be quick if you're proficient (and then the pay rises reflect this!)

@hannes_maib @wellcometrust @MCB_Sheffield @jasonkinglab @edenlab_ucl Congratulations!! Proud of you!

[Katherine Hardy @KJHardy]

@hannes_maib Good luck!

@JACoates LinkedIn or directly with the pharma companies is a good shout for MSL jobs!

[Katherine Hardy @KJHardy]

@JACoates I don't have an example, but don't mind having a look at your work in progress, if helpful?

[Katherine Hardy @KJHardy]

Well done @AEcaterina! @JPhysiol #zebrafish #haircells
