Hello! I'm Dr Ranj.

Welcome to our very special hospital, just for children.

Come on - I'll show you around.

Lots of clever people like doctors and nurses work here,

and they're specially trained to care for children, just like you.

You may come here because you're not feeling well,

or you need to have a test,

or an operation.

-Hello!

-Hello, Dr Ranj.

But don't worry.

Whatever you're here for, there'll be someone like me

to check you're healthy, or to help you get well soon.

This is my floor. I'd better get to work.

Hello! I'm in the audiology department.

This is where we see people who have problems with their hearing.

I have a patient coming to see me today. I wonder who it will be.

Who's come to visit me? Who will it be?

Can you guess which friend it is? Let's see.

I know who that is. It's Jobi!

# Fast is fun, just watch me run

# Go, go!

# And see me whizzing by

# When I jump, I stretch right up

# Go, go

# And try to touch the sky

# There's no fun in standing still

# Running's what I need

# Don't say "No," or "Whoa," or "Slow"

# I just love to speed

# Don't say "No," or "Whoa," or "Slow"

# Cos I just love to speed. #

-Hello, Jobi. Come and sit down.

-Thank you.

I'm Agent Jobi today - super-spy!

Oh, OK. Agent Jobi.

Oh, what's that?

Shoom! Shoom-shoom! Shoom, shoom, shoom!

-Jobi?

-Oh, yes, Dr Ranj?

What are you doing?

Super-spy stuff, Dr Ranj, with my super-spy ray!

-Shoo, shoo, shoo!

-Do you know why you're here today, Jobi?

Well, sometimes I don't hear things very well.

I think I might need new ears, Dr Ranj.

-You don't need new ears, Jobi.

-If I do, can I have elephant ears?

They're massive. Then I'll be able to hear everything.

There are things we can do to help you hear better,

but to find out, we'll have to do a hearing test.

"Hearing test"? Oh, no.

-What's up?

-I don't know much about hearing.

Don't worry.

It's not a test where you have to answer questions.

I know lots about spy stuff, though. Shoom, shoom, shoom!

A hearing test is how we find out what you can hear

and what you can't hear.

I'm going to ask you to listen to some special sounds,

so it's important that you listen, today.

Sorry, Dr Ranj. Did you say something?

I didn't hear.

Well, that's what I need to find out.

Maybe you didn't hear me, or maybe you just weren't listening.

Oh, don't worry, Dr Ranj. Super-spies listen to everything.

-OK, well, first, I need to have a look inside your ear.

-Whoa!

I didn't realise you were a super-spy too, Dr Ranj.

-That's so cool!

-I'm not a spy, Jobi. This is an auriscope.

A whatiscope?

-Auriscope. It's like a special torch with a magnifying glass.

-Cool!

Are you going to poke it in my ears, Dr Ranj?

You should never poke things in your ears, Jobi.

I'll use it to look inside your ears to check they're OK.

It won't hurt, but it might tickle.

When you shine that light in my ear,

does it shine out of the other one?

No, Jobi, because your brain's in the way.

What can you see inside my ears, Dr Ranj?

-I can see your eardrums.

-Eardrums? Wow! They must be so loud.

# Boom, boom-boom, boom, boom, boom-boom. #

But I've never heard them. # Boom-boom-boom... #

It's not that kind of drum.

The eardrum is like a tiny thin sheet that wobbles backwards

and forwards when you hear sounds.

Oh!

From what I could see, Jobi, your ears look OK inside.

So why can't I hear some things?

Something inside your ears might not be working properly.

That's why we need to do the hearing test today.

-Are you ready to do it now?

-Um... I think so, Dr Ranj.

This looks fun!

It's just like a game.

Every time you hear a sound,

-you just need to put a shape into the tray.

-That sounds easy.

Shall we have a practice, then?

-Yeah!

-You might hear a sound like this.

-HIGH-PITCHED BEEP

-I heard that!

And when you hear a sound, what do you do?

I put the shape into the tray.

OK. Boom!

-Very good, Jobi. And that's all you have to do.

-Oh, awesome!

During the test, you'll need to wear these headphones, too.

-Cool!

-Some sounds might be quieter, and others might be louder,

but every time you hear a sound, you just pop a shape into the tray.

Um, what if I don't hear anything?

Well, then you don't do anything, Jobi.

Oh... And what happens at the end?

When we've finished the test, we'll go through your results together.

OK!

Let's do the hearing test, then.

HIGH-PITCHED BEEP

LOW-PITCHED HUM

HIGH-PITCHED BEEP

Right, Jobi, now we're going to look at your results.

Oh, I hope I get a gold star!

No stars, Jobi. Just lines.

Your results are marked on a graph like this.

The blue and red lines show the results for your left

and right ears.

They look like squiggly snakes!

They do a bit, but these lines show me that your right ear is fine,

but your left ear isn't working properly.

Oh, no!

And that might be why you haven't been hearing things sometimes.

So maybe I just need one new ear, then.

You don't need a new ear, Jobi.

We can give you something else to help you hear things better.

-What?

-A hearing aid.

-What's that?

It's a clever device which helps to make sounds louder and clearer,

so your ear can hear them.

Oh, does it go inside my ear?

No, it goes behind your ear, like an earpiece that a super-spy might use.

Oh!

This part goes behind your ear like this,

and this bit goes in your ear, like this.

-Wow!

-It might feel a little strange at first,

but you'll soon get used to it.

-Do other children have hearing aids?

-Lots of children do,

but not everyone who has a problem with their hearing needs one.

Is this mine?

No. This is just to show you what a hearing aid is like.

Another department will give you your very own one.

-Mine to keep?

-Yes, of course!

They sometimes come in different colours, too.

Maybe it will help me to hear super-spy stuff!

When you have your own hearing aid,

you'll hear lots of different things.

Cool!

Now, then, Dr Ranj to Agent Jobi. Can you hear me, Agent Jobi?

Agent Jobi hearing you loud and clear, Dr Ranj!

Good, then I think you deserve a sticker.

Agent Jobi, super-spy guy!

Thanks, Dr Ranj. Bye!

Bye, Jobi!

It's time to say goodbye now.

Thanks for coming to see us. See you next time,

but until then, be happy, be healthy, and get well soon!

If you're not feeling well, it's always best to go

and see your own doctor. And get well soon!
