The show aims to explore the wonders of science and its impact on the world, dissecting science issues in a way that can be understood by the public.
The episode discussion revolved around Mehrnaz’s research into developing an objective measure of tinnitus and the complexities and challenges of the condition.
Segment host Dr Shane, who has tinnitus, was eager to chat with Mehrnaz about his personal experience of the impact tinnitus can have on daily life.
