VISITORS TO Portmeirion's Festival No.6 will have left with an unique snapshot of Wales imprinted in their minds for good.
The iconic village welcomed over 7,000 people for the inaugural edition of the festival, which promised, "a bespoke banquet of music, arts and culture."
Festival-goers would agree that the event delivered on all fronts, offering quite literally, something for everyone; from coastal walks on the idyllic estuary, to daytime woodland raves; from poetry readings to popular comedians.
The festival had more than an air of exclusivity, with famous faces from the world of music, comedy and the arts casually mixing among the crowded bars and cafes.
Taking centre stage for the festival was the surrealist mediterraenean architecture that provided the inspiration for cult 1960's TV series, 'The Prisoner'.
Spiralling Sicilian-style towers, murals, villas adorning every conceivable colour, were transformed into a daytime play area for those lucky enough to attend this festival.
The transition from day into night was when the festival truly came alive.
The Brythoniad male voice choir proved a major highlight for many, following up a cover of New Order's 'Blue Monday', with a rousing rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone', - enough to draw a gasp of awe from hundreds of mesmerised onlookers.
As darkness descended, the action, led by a flame-carrying procession, would make the transition to the main festival area, where bespoke food stalls, bustling bars and big- top pavillion tents would provide a more conventional festival feel.
Race Horses were in enchanting form, Primal Scream performed a set of career-defining hits, while New Order glossed over their legendary status with a combination of covers and classics.
The real beauty of the festival was its versatility; it offered a change from the usual period of daytime inactivity offered at festivals - you weren't simply waiting for the bands start.
You could endlessly explore the village and it's coastal and wooded surroundings, to help wash away any hangover.
There was more than enough to keep anyone occupied, whether you were more interested in the music or lounging around in Portmeirion's grandiose central piazza.
Well organised and with a diverse billing of intruiging artists, the only shame was that Number 6 didn't keep me imprisoned any longer.

Twitter has brought down a hail of critical tweeting on its own head by suspending the account of a British newspaper's Los Angeles correspondent following his acerbic reporting of NBC's coverage of the Olympics.
The social media network hummed with the indignation of thousands of its users after the Twitter feed of Guy Adams of the Independent disappeared. The paper's deputy editor, Archie Bland, confirmed the suspension, calling it "heavy-handed".
NBC said it had complained to Twitter after Adams published the email address of one of its senior bosses. "We filed a complaint with Twitter because a user tweeted the personal information of one of our executives. According to Twitter, this is a violation of their privacy policy. Twitter alone levies discipline."
Rachael Horwitz, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco-based firm, confirmed that it does not "actively monitor" users' accounts, and added that it was company policy not to comment on individual users.

Welcome to our UK Random House Children's Publisher's blog. You'll find behind-the-scenes talk from us, our authors, illustrators and events... and news on the latest cakes from the publicity department!
The worst thing about a great story is that it has to end! Luckily here at Random House Children's Publishers we have a nearly endless selection of amazing stories for you to read. If you're looking to start something new this spring then why not try one of our brilliant series! The perfect way to make a great story last longer…
For those of you who like ghost stories we have Jonathan Stroud's excellent Lockwood and Co. series. Start with The Screaming Staircase and you will be whisked away to a country overrun with ghosts! Follow the smallest and most ramshackle agency as they face the case of a lifetime. After this frighteningly good book you can follow Lockwood and Co. in The Whispering Skull and The Dagger in the Desk.
If you'd like to take a step back in time then look no further than Jacqueline Wilson's Hetty Feather series. Start with Hetty Feather and learn about the life of a Victorian child abandoned at the Foundling Hospital through the fiery and spirited Hetty. Follow this with the equally brilliant Sapphire Battersea and Emerald Star.
Like a good old fashioned mystery? Why not try Robin Stevens' outstanding series A Murder Most Unladylike Mystery. Start with Murder Most Unladylike and uncover a world of murder, mystery and mayhem at Deepdean School for Girls. Follow Daisy and Hazel as they hunt for evidence of a crime that no one else knows has happened. Once you've solved this case there are more lined up for you with Arsenic For Tea and First Class Murder.
Or if you fancy a little fantasy then you can't get much littler than the tiny nomes who live under the floorboards of a large department store. Start Terry Pratchett's magnificent The Bromeliad Trilogy with Truckers: The First Book of the Nomes and follow the nomes as they work to escape the soon to be demolished store. To follow the nomes on their other adventures read the equally exciting Diggers and Wings.
If you've already made your way through these incredible stories then why not take a look at our new books!
In Jacqueline Wilson's latest fantastic offering, The Butterfly Club, shy Tina is overshadowed by her loving and protective sisters Maddie and Phil, until Tina's love of butterflies lets her spread her wings and make some new friends of her own. The Butterfly Club is Jacqueline Wilson's 101st book, and her stories are as riveting and relatable as ever. If you loved The Butterfly Club and need a little guidance on where else in the Jacqueline Wilson catalogue to start, we've got some ideas for you!
Calling all fans of Dick King-Smith! We're delighted to announce that a brand new website celebrating the much-loved author Dick King-Smith has gone live. With funny facts about the writer, his life as a farmer and soldier, the menagerie of animals he looked after and information about all of his books www.DickKingSmith.com is the place to go. Why not do the quiz on the site and find out how much you know about the author of more than 130 books, including The Sheep-Pig, The Fox Busters and A Mouse Called Wolf? The site also hosts educational resources written by literacy expert Prue Goodwin which give tips on using Dick King-Smith's books in the classroom and for reading for pleasure.
Joseph Delaney's bestselling Spook's series is set to be made into a film. So why should you bother reading the books? Well, for MANY reasons…
Seventh Son was first set to come out in February 2013. That's almost 2 years ago! The fantasy movie starring Jeff Bridges has had its release date pushed back four times already from Feb 2013, to Oct 2013 to Jan. 2014… and now finally to the 27th March 2015.
If you are done with waiting, what better way to spend the two months before the movie comes out, than by reading the books it was adapted from?
1 film vs 13 books! Joseph Delaney has written 13 books following the antics of the Spook, so you get more thrills and more adventures
We always advocate reading the books AND watching the film. The two are never going to be exactly the same and by overlooking one you'll enevitably end up missing some people's favourite bits out. Imagine all the hilarious or life changing moments you could be missing out on by not reading the books. Just think all the people who have only seen the Hunger Games movies, have completely missed out on the line "Well don't expect us to be too impressed. We just saw Finnick Odair in his underwear."
We are very excited to see the beautiful Ben Barnes staring as Thomas Ward, especially after Joseph Delaney said he was a "great action hero who is the true star of 'Seventh Son'". In the books Thomas is quite a lot younger than in the films and we love having relatable, kick-ass, teen characters!
It's Monday again! How did you spend your weekend? I spent most of mine on a train, going up and down the country. Luckily I had a bunch of good books in my bag to keep me occupied!
This week, we got to thinking about some of the stranger habits some of us have whenever we're reading. For example, last week someone confided to me that she arranges the books on her shelf by colour. Or how about the woman who admitted she leaves scary books in the fridge overnight? I even once encountered a man who tore out pages from books after he'd read them so that whenever he opened the book again he'd be right where he left off before.
It turns out some of us have some pretty odd routines when it comes to books. Well, we asked around the office and some of the confessions we got were pretty bizarre! Here's a few:
"If I'm reading a really exciting series of books, the final one has to be in hardback, because it looks so much more impressive."
"All of my books are ordered by genre and are in alphabetical order."
"I listen to Harry Potter every night before I go to sleep and listen to it in theme: for example, Christmas scenes in the run up to Christmas."
"I have forty-seven copies of Wuthering Heights."
"After reading a book I really enjoy, I hunt down all the other books the author has written and have to read them all before I move on to a new author."
"I read the same three books whenever I am ill."
"I sometimes walk the dog and read at the same time. Once the dog pulled on the lead and I dropped my book in a puddle."
"I have been known to drive and read."
"Sometimes I sit in the car after work and I don't drive home (it can get dark) until I've reached the end of the book."
What do you reckon? Think those are pretty weird, or can you match them with any strange habits of your own? Don't be shy – comment below and let us know!
With the film just days away from release, we're all getting pretty excited, but also rather impatient, waiting to see it. So, we've decided to put together a list of 5 interesting (well, we think they're interesting) bits of information about If I Stay and its incredibly talented, bestselling author, Gayle Forman.
1. Did you know that the wonderful Gayle Forman hasn't always known she wanted to be a writer? In fact, when she was little, she wanted to grow up to be the sun! This was, however, before she realised that being the sun was not a viable career option.
2. Dakota Fanning was in talks to play the part of Mia but turned it down to focus on her studies. However, it's a good thing Chloë got the role though, as we think she fits the Mia we had in our heads perfectly. It's not just us that thinks that, Gayle posted this image on her Tumblr saying:
'After seeing Chloë Moretz practicing cello for the If I Stay movie, it is so obvious how meant for this role she is. Look at this picture. It's Mia!'
3. Despite the many musical references in If I Stay, Gayle Forman actually says she isn't musical. On her website she is asked 'Are you a musician?' To which she replies:
'Not even a little bit, but if you think I am because of my books, I'm so glad because it means I did a good job of fooling you.'
She fooled us! Did she fool you?
4. Gayle Forman was asked to sort her If I Stay characters into Hogwarts houses by Buzzfeed recently. She put Mia and Adam in Gryffindor (aww) and Kim in Ravenclaw. Do you agree with her choices?
She also drew some delightful pictures of her characters, which you can see here. (Although, just a word of advice, Gayle, maybe you should stick to writing…!)
5. Our final thing for you will probably make you cry even more than the story itself, but we think it's very important piece of information. Basically, Gayle reveals in a note at the end of If I Stay that the idea for the story came from real events that happened to a family she knew. She says:
'Once upon a time there was a family: a mother, a father, a boy like Teddy and a baby. And once upon a time there was a snowy day. And a drive in a car. And a devastating car accident. And an unfathomable tragedy.'
(the rest of the story can be found in the back of copies of her paperback)
That's all we have for you today sadly, so you'll have to deal with your If I Stay pangs a little bit longer. While you wait, check out the trailer here:
Or, if that's not enough to keep you going, and you want to know more about the inspiration behind the story and read exclusive interviews with Chloë Moritz and Jamie Blackley, who play Mia and Adam, pick up a copy of the book here.
AND if that's still not enough!! Check out Gayle's website for more interesting facts and updates on the film and the book from her super cool tumblr here.

Response Team reflections from flooded MozambiqueFlooded Xai Xai, a town that sits on the Limpopo River that burst its banks flooding southern Mozambique, February 2013.
ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) member Tracey Wilson (SA) is part of a two-person SRT in Mozambique currently assessing the need for emergency shelter following widespread flooding that has displaced tens of thousands of people. She reflects on her experience so far:
'We travelled to Chiaquelane, the biggest camp in the Gaza province. It's near Chokwe, the city that has been one of the hardest-hit areas by the floods. Most of its 70,000 residents escaped with whatever they could grab as the Limpopo River burst its banks engulfing their homes. It has been recorded that there are over 55,000 people living here.
'Tents and plastic sheeting are scattered all over the bush. People are living everywhere. Water is provided by eight wells and water trucks delivered daily. Informal traders have set up stalls in and around the site. The camp also provides food once a day.
'Apparently 4,500 more people have arrived in the last few days as news spread that more floods are anticipated. Even though the water levels are reducing in Chokwe, the local Government has advised people not to return to their homes.
'I spoke to 20-year-old Maria Masevi who has been living at Chiaquelane camp for one week. She told me how she moved here with her family from Chicowane, also near the Limpopo River, as the floods destroyed their home, crops and land where their cattle grazed. They have been left with nothing.
20-year-old Maria Masevi who fled her home in Chicowane to Chiaquelane camp with no possessions with her family as it flooded, Mozambique, February 2013.
'We have also travelled to Xai Xai which is almost 200 kilometres from Maputo on the coast, where SRT member David Good (SA) and I flew into. This town sits on the Limpopo River, which has overflowed due to the recent heavy rains into the surrounding farmlands that are crucial to the local people's livelihoods.
'There is one single road entering Xai Xai and the fields of water start about eight kilometres out of town. Many houses have been destroyed by the floodwaters in and around the area too. A makeshift bridge has even been set up to allow the flow of traffic into the town. The locals are also forced to travel on boats to reach their homes on the higher lying areas.
'The local Government disaster unit has established five camps to accommodate these displaced families.
'Hard-to-reach areas'
'We are continuing more needs assessments in other hard-to-reach areas with the help of the Rotary Club of Polana and the National Disaster Management Institute (INGC). We will then bring in ShelterBoxes if a need is found and we can find viable options for distribution.'

"Hands free" ordinance could be coming to Mount Pleasant
On Tuesday, a town of Mount Pleasant committee reviewed an idea to create a "hands free" ordinance for the town.
If approved, the ordinance will ban drivers from using their phone for texting, emailing and other activities, unless it is hands free.
The number of accidents caused by distracted drivers has been increasing. Between February and June 2012, 240 accidents involved distracted drivers. During that same timeframe in 2013, that number jumped to 330.
"It's a big problem, especially down here," Hakim Grant said. "I've seen it first hand, basically people closest to me."
Grant's sister was typing an address into her cell phone's GPS, when she ran a red light and totaled her car.
"When you drive nowadays, you cannot just drive for yourself," he said. "You have to drive for everyone around you, so if you have something as simple as a phone distracting you, it could become a big problem."
During the committee meeting, there were concerns raised about how towns like Clemson enforce the ordinance. Clemson was the first town to enact a ban on texting back in February of 2010.
Mount Pleasant's head police officer said enforcement won't be an issue.
"We can enforce any law," Chief Carl Ritchie said. "There are some hurdles and some things to overcome, so obviously this hands free [ordinance] will make it easier to enforce."
But Grant disagrees.
"How can you monitor everybody," he said. "Maybe if you roll up to a traffic light and they see someone at the traffic light beside them, then maybe they can pull them over and let them know. But, as a cause of just watching for people texting and driving, it's going to be difficult."
Mayor Billy Swails asked the town's attorney to draft a hands free ordinance. The committee will review that ordinance in their next meeting in August. If approved, the ordinance will be discussed with all members of the town council. Members must vote on the bill twice before it becomes law.
If the hands free ordinance is approved both times, the town could begin enforcing the ban in September.

Google Fiber Gets Snapped Up in Kansas City
Google Fiber has won a lot of customers in Kansas City, where it first offered fast Internet service, suggesting the initiative may be profitable, according to a recent survey.
When Google started building Fiber in Kansas City in 2011, Wall Street considered the effort an experiment. Earlier this year, Google identified 34 cities for possible expansion. That prompted concern among some analysts and investors that the high initial cost of building a speedy Internet network would generate slim returns, or no returns at all.
A lot depends on how many people sign up for the service, and the early signs are good, say Bernstein Research analysts Carlos Kirjner and Peter Paskhaver.
Kirjner and Paskhaver hired market research firm Haynes and Co. to go door to door in Kansas City neighborhoods to ask residents whether they had Google Fiber.
Haynes surveyed 328 households in the Wornall Homestead, Countryside, Roanoke, Central Hyde Park and Community College neighborhoods, and found that 42% of them said they were paying for Google Fiber, according to the analysts.
Google Fiber offers data transfer speeds of one gigabit per second, much faster than most U.S. broadband services, for $70 a month in Kansas City. It also offers a pay-TV and broadband package for $120 a month and a free broadband service that is slower and costs $300 to install. Including households with the free service, 53% of households in the five neighborhoods had some Google Fiber service, the Haynes survey found.
By comparison, Time Warner Cable offers 100-megabit Internet service – one-tenth as fast as Google Fiber – for $64.99 per month for 12 months in the 64113 zip code, which includes Wornall Homestead, according to the company's website.
"We believe that with these penetrations, Kansas City and markets with similar deployment economics would be very profitable to Google," Kirjner and Paskhaver wrote in a note to investors. The analysts don't specify a break-even point for Google's service.
The Bernstein analysts reckon high customer satisfaction with the early Google Fiber service will mean more people signing up over time.
Haynes asked residents of the five Kansas City neighborhoods whether they would recommend Google Fiber. Of the 195 who responded, all said they would recommend the Internet service.
That could help Google Fiber sign up 65% of the homes its service reaches, in Kansas City and beyond, in three to five years, Kirjner and Paskhaver estimated.
Just over 40% of U.S. households got broadband Internet service from cable providers, research firm IHS reported late last year. Smaller numbers got broadband from phone companies through DSL lines or other fiber services, IHS said.

Hi Kristin, Just wanted to say good for you! I love your positive attitude. I could'nt agree with you more about being centered and taking the whole person approach. I do admit I have not tried acupuncture I guess because I get stuck so much already Ha! Certainly sounds worth trying if your getting that kind of relief. Kristin, I'm glad things are remaining stable. Keep up the great work!
Bless Ya!
Jeff G.
Great post Kristin. Thank you!
Jeff, If you tried acupuncture, and asked nicely, they might let you keep the needles in while you're hanging out on the beach in your new swim suit.
Peter, Thanks for reminding me. I need to get a swim suit. Donated my other ones as they were to big. Actually, When I read your post I was thinking about you mimmicking a porcipine(sp) in vermont. Ha!
Hi Kristin. I agree with Peter, this is a great post with plenty for us all to think about. What is energy healing? I can't recall ever hearing the expression. The exercise is good, but I would break out in a sweat just thinking about running for an hour. I do enjoy walking though. I could certainly manage the chocolate!
Hi everyone,
Believe me, acupuncture is NOT painful. I'm the world's biggest wimp when it comes to getting stuck! The needles are super, super thin, (nothing like a hypodermic) and they don't go in very far (at least not in the system that this practitioner uses.) They feel like mosquito bites when they go in.
Energy healing is a system where one person uses his or her energy field to correct the energy flows in another person. It's related to your chakras (in traditional Indian medicine) or your chi (in Chinese medicine) or "laying on of hands" (in some religions) and it's very soothing and strengthening.
One form of it is called "Healing Touch", which you can google (I'm sorry I can't give you a link right now but my Internet connection is barely working this morning.)
And as for exercise, Ron, I think it's whatever YOU can do to challenge yourself. After my surgery, my first "exercise" program consisted of walking down to the end of my porch and back, twice a day, which was enough to wear me out completely. I think anything that pushes your limits just a little bit helps.
Thank you all so much for your encouragement! Reading your experiences and comments here over the last few months has given me a tremendous boost. My oncologist has been not very encouraging at all, and it's done me all the good in the world to see that there are other people who have not just given up and "gotten their affairs in order." Blessings to you all!

Historian to lead National Council on Public History
University of South Carolina history professor Dr. Robert R. Weyeneth has been elected to lead the National Council on Public History, the nation's leading professional organization for public historians.
Robert Weyeneth
Weyeneth will serve a two-year term as president-elect, followed by a two-year term as president. The NCPH, headquartered in Indianapolis, publishes the flagship journal, "The Public Historian."
"It is an honor to be recognized by my peers and to have the opportunity to lead the National Council on Public History at a time when so many new public history programs are starting up in history departments in the U.S. and abroad," Weyeneth said. "I hope to nurture that growth, to encourage a more racially and ethnically diverse group of students to study public history and to encourage local practitioners – the community activist working to save a landmark or the local museum curator who may not see themselves as public historians – to take advantage of the NCPH's many resources."
A faculty member at Carolina since 1992, Weyeneth is the director of the history department's Public History Program, which has earned numerous awards, particularly for its work in African-American heritage preservation.
"The Public History Program is one of the great success stories at the university, and Bob Weyeneth's leadership has been an important part of that story," said Dr. Lacy Ford, chairman of the department of history. "We hope Bob's election to this prestigious national office will let people of the state know even more about the good work that our Public History Program is doing."
More than 200 alumni of the program are employed at the nation's most visible institutions, including Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, the U.S. Holocaust Museum and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Many of the public historians working in South Carolina museums, historic sites, preservation agencies, libraries and archives also are alumni.
"The Public History Program is a crown jewel for the university," Weyeneth said. "It is one of the oldest, largest and most successful public history programs in the United States."
Weyeneth, who earned his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from the University of California Berkeley, specializes in the study, understanding and teaching of controversial chapters of history and how best to communicate these stories to public audiences. His publications have addressed the challenges of conducting public history in communities with historical secrets and the issues that arise when societies contemplate remembering -- or forgetting-- a problematic past.

LOS ALAMITOS - Emil Jorge and Derek Sparta believe holiday shoppers can get more bounce off the bucks spent at the pair's personalized greeting cards business.
That's because the business, Cardraising, offers personalized holiday cards that donate 30 percent of the purchase price to the buyers' favorite school, causes or charities.
"We didn't create the business to make a ton of money," Jorge said.
Both were interested in finding a better method of supporting the Casa Youth Shelter in Los Alamitos.
Sparta crunched some numbers, and he and Jorge decided on the 30 percent donation system.
The business partners are lifelong friends whogrew up in Los Alamitos and attended Los Alamitos High School, graduating in 1987. Jorge was president of the senior class.
Since its founding in 2011, Cardraising customers have identified more than 300 schools across the country that will be recipients of the 30 percent donation.
"With Cardraising, customers can give back to their local animal shelter or child's elementary school while purchasing a product they will actually use," Jorge said.
Cardraising can also be used as a school or charity fundraiser tool, he said.
The company will handle every step, from orders to production and distribution.
"All the organization needs to do is encourage their supporters to select their cause when purchasing from cardraising.com," Jorge said.
For all orders placed by Dec. 21, Cardraising will send a check for 30 percent of purchases by the end of the calendar year.
Cardraising purchases can be made through the company's website at www.cardraising.com.
However, purchases can also be made at the company's business office at 10744 Noel St. in Los Alamitos, Jorge said. For details, call 800-451-4004, Ext. 100.
Hundreds of schools and charities are available for donations on the website, with more being added each day, Jorge said.
If a cause isn't currently listed, the card purchaser may add a cause at the bottom of the page to submit the organization's information.
Next, the website will provide templates from hundreds of designs and upload an image through the program.
The customer can add a personalized message to friends and family, and select a font from about 10 offered and the desired card size and quantity.
A box in the top right corner of the screen will show how much will be donated to the chosen cause as a result of the purchase.
All orders placed at www.cardraising.com before Dec. 15 are automatically entered into a drawing to win a $2,000 cash prize.

ONTARIO -- A man collapsed in an alley here and later died after suffering at least one gunshot wound late Tuesday.
The 28-year-old Ontario man, whose name wasn't released because his relatives hadn't been notified, was pronounced dead at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Fontana, San Bernardino County coroner's officials said.
The incident was reported at 11:35 p.m. in the 100 block of West Park Street.
"We received multiple 9-1-1 calls advising of a fight and possibly shots fired," said Ontario police Sgt. David McBride.
Police arrived and found the man lying in an alley that runs between Park and State streets.
There were no other people at the location.
Detectives later searched a home near where the man was found. The victim didn't live there, but knew the residents, police say.
Narcotics officers were called to the scene after police found what McBride described as a small amount of marijuana and cash at the home. There were no arrests in connection with the drugs, and that case will be investigated separately.
Investigators interviewed around five people at the scene who either lived at the home or know the residents.
"Nobody from that house is suspected of being responsible for the murder," McBride said.
He also said none of the people interviewed were involved in the fight.
No arrests have been made and a motive is not known.
It is the city's second homicide in nine days and the third this year. In 2012, there were three homicides total.
On May 6, a man died of stab wounds after being found in the 3000 block of East San Lorenzo River Road.
Ontario police arrested Dion Stanley Demerrill, 36, and his wife, Nicole Lynette Demerrill, 41, both of Ontario on suspicion of killing the man. Police said Nicole Demerrill used to be married to the victim.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Ontario police Detective Chris Martinez at 909-395-2733.

Bargain sponges
This pack of five sponges costs an amazingly cheap 19p from Asda - that's a touch under 4p per sponge which is the kind of price it is difficult to argue with! To be honest, when I bought these during an online shop, I wasn't expecting much, but figured that I wouldn't be wasting too much money if they turned out to be rubbish. Because at this rice I must admit I expected some pretty flimsy sponges, and was prepared for them to disintegrate after one or two uses!
The picture here shows the old packaging - these sponges now come in a pack that isn't much more exciting than this, but is plain white with some green lettering. Inside, they are white with a dark green scrubby scourer on the top - an average looking sponge in all ways really, and I was surprised that when I took these out of the pack these didn't look at all cheap and nasty.
Skinny scourers
I do think you can tell these aren't the most expensive sponges in the world the sponge section is thinner than others, and they aren't the most amazing quality - I think the more expensive ones do tend to last a bit longer. But for the price they are surprisingly decent. They wash up really well, and the scourer is rough enough to help scrub up my dishes really well. I have used cheap sponges in the past and the scourer has tended to disintegrate after a few uses, but that isn;t the case with these, as they hold their shape really well.
In summary
Overall I have been really impressed with these and will definitely buy them again. I don't like to send a lot on basics, so when I find a household product that does the job so well for so little I can only give it five stars!
I have been buying these Asda smart price scourers for years now, ever since I bought my own home. I buy these from Asda for around 20p! They really could charge a lot more for these scourers as they are excellent value for money. I would happily pay £1 for these.
They come in a clear plastic bag and you get 5 in a pack. These scourers are half sponge, half scourer. The scourer part is what I use the most. It is a dark green colour, and all I do is pour some disinfectant spray or washing up liquid on it, and I use it mainly to clean my hob, after cooking. Foods always spills over out of my pans and ends up dried stuck to the hob. These scourers are excellent for scrubbing off dried food. They are not really rough, but rough enough to scrub your surfaces well, you do have to press down quite a little to get a good scrub with these.
These are rectangle in shape, and they are great as I use one end first, then turn it and use the other end when the other is knackered, they are plenty big enough to do this and use these many times before it has to be thrown away. The scourer part, does start to wear down after about a week, but I use it all the time, on my sink, hob, on work tops, food stuck to pans etc, they really are an essential to help me clean in my kitchen! They never scratch anything though, they are gentle on surfaces.
The sponge part is great too, if you are scrubbing a pan with the scourer to get food off it, then you can just turn it over and use the sponge part to clean it all out. It soaks up washing up liquid well and when you are washing up, it foams up nicely and feels nice to wash up my dishes before I put them in the dishwasher. The sponge starts to looks grubby very quickly, especially after cleaning pans, it stains pretty easily due to its light colour.
I sometimes put these in my washing machine to wash them if the sponge part looks slightly dirty but the scourer looks in good condition still and I don't want to throw it away, they come up nicely in my washing machine. They don't last many washes before looking completely worn out, and to be honest I really should just chuck them, they only cost 20p a pack!
I buy a pack of these every month, and I love them, I use them to clean all sorts and they get the job done nicely, I can't believe they are still so cheap, they are brilliant for the price, and I would highly recommend you try them!
These scourers are perfect for washing up, I use them every day just on the pots, pans and mugs. There are many other uses for these i'm sure but I find they're just good for washing up.
The packaging shown in that picture up there is the old design. These scourers now come in the same plastic bag but instead have a green smart price logo and a solid white square. They are also now just under 20p per pack and only come in white. They used to come in yellow but they don't even do a multi colour pack.
The packaging has to be thrown and cannot be recycled. It's incredibly easy to open, just like a bag of crisps really. The sponges are also not recyclable but do last for a couple weeks so it's not like your bin is going to be filled with these things.
When washing up these do get the grease and dirt off really well, they don't shred when they are used for picking dried food off the plates and they don't even fall to pieces straight away. At this price though I wasn't expecting much. The ones I use last about 1-2 weeks just for the family's washing up. This is not exactly strenuous work for these scourers, even if it is for me!
The rough side is not like sandpaper but it's not comfortable to touch either. The little fibres stick out all over the place and occasionally these do come off onto the plates or into the washing up water. This side is excellent for getting the tough dirt off and really scrubs it off when you apply pressure.
The soft side is quite thick and springy, with only small holes in it. They aren't large craters and while bits do occasionally get tangled in this, it can easily be rung out and washed clean. This side is less well made and generally is the side that needs binning. It usually falls apart by getting holes or tears in it from knives but after a few weeks it's shredded itself anyway.
Overall these are excellent value for money scourers. They're simple, cheap and do their job well. They last a good couple of weeks so while they're cheap, they're not unacceptably poor quality. I recommend these for washing up.
I use scourers when washing up. I find them to be very useful and practical which makes washing up easier than normal.
These sponge scourers have a sponge on one side and on the other side is a scourer.
The sponges are yellow and the scourer side is green. They aren't particularly special to look at but that doesn't really matter.
I use these whilst washing up and find them really useful. I use the sponge side to wash most items but if there's something which needs a good scrub then the scourer side tends to do the trick. it's good because it's all in one so I don't need to use two different cleaning products I can just simply turn it around and use the other side.
I sometimes put Fairy Liquid into the sponge to make it froth with bubbles which makes it easier to get the grease out of some products and again makes washing up even easier which is always useful.
Over time these break down and the scourer becomes really worn, the sponge loses it's colour and it looks quite sad and 'soggy' but because they are cheap it's not a problem. You can freshen them up a bit by using some bleach to clean them but once the scourer becomes thin it isn't very good.
I use these for wiping the the kitchen sides down as well as washing up and find them to be very practical cleaning aids.
Recently when I was in Asda I picked a pack of the Value Sponge Scourers up, at 14p for 5 scourers I thought I might as well give them a go. A pack would get me through a week of pot washing easily.
The scourers are made of white sponge with a green scouring layer glued on top. The sponge is quite thin but holds up well for a couple of washes. I found it thin compared to the green and yellow grippy scourers I usually buy. The scouring layer is good for scrubbing a couple of pans but soon gets clogged up with food debris and after a couple of lots of pots the scouring layer starts to peel away from the sponge.
At 14p for 5 these are easily disposable, I find it quite scary that some people use the same sponge scourer for a week at a time and even pop them through the washing machine. As the scourers are white they can get stained from strong coloured foods and end up looking quite yucky languishing on the side of the kitchen sink.
The scourers are also good for bathroom cleaning and soon scrub off the toothpaste my children seem to spray around every surface.
I have also used cheap sponge scourers for craft and painting activities when my children were little and I see no reason why these would not be as good.
Thank you for reading.
Asda Sponge scourers - 14p for 5 (As of Novemebr 2012)
I have recently stopped being such a regular shopper is Asda as used to however when I visited last week I happened across these scourers. The packaging has changed as they are now in a see through / green package, and the sponges are now white with green scourers on them.
The sponge section of these is possibly a little thinner than some if the more expensive brands, but they do the job well. They are as easy to hold and as effective in use as any other dish sponge I have had the dubious pleasure to use. In the last week I have noticed that after using them with elbow grease when they start to wear out the scourer can come unattached around the edges a little - however I find this to be an issues with all of these sponges.
The white sponge section of the item can become discoloured rather quickly (especially is used to wash something bright in colour) - but I tend to use these for one or two days only each as I know they can become breeding grounds for germs.
For less than 3p each I honestly can say they are a real bargain, and that I would highly recommend them.
I have a very busy household with me, my partner, our daughter and my step son so I am constantly cleaning, well it feels that way anyway! I used to buy the home brand sponge scourers which were around 50p but when I discovered these cheaper smart price ones i decided to give them a go and at 14p it isn't a big waste of money if they don't do the job!
They come in a transparent plastic packet and can normally be found right at the bottom of the shelves so you do have to be looking for them to find them. They consist of the yellow sponge part and the green scourer part on the top. These smart price scourers are a little slimmer than more expensive brands but considering I throw scourers away after about a week anyway that isn't a problem.
They are perfect for washing pots and wiping down sides but I have found if I need to really scrub anything with them the green scourer part wears away leaving whatever I am cleaning green!! Quite annoying for something supposedly designed for that purpose! Luckily it doesn't stain things green, it's just green fibres that can be wiped away with the yellow sponge part.
Other than that these really are a must for the cleaning cupboard, 14p for 5 sponge scourers is just too good to say no to!
Asda sponge scourers cost the grand total of 14 pence for five sponge scourers. If you have been living under a rock for a while, a scourer is a piece of sponge with an abrasive top that can be used to scrub various items with (usually dishes). In the picture here you can see the yellow sponge and the green abrasive topper here which is much thinner and much harder than the sponge beneath.
==My Opinion==
Scourers are used in my house for really dirty dishes. Although we have a dishwasher, sometimes when food is really baked on to dishes it is a good idea to give them a soak in washing up liquid and then give them an extra scrub with a scourer before they go into the dishwasher, same for pans really. The thing is, I won't pay much for scourers because none of them last very long in my opinion. If you only have fairly clean plates to give a scrub to then they will last a while but I find with the very dirty pots and pans that the food gets all clogged up onto the green abrasive section and even with the best attempts to clean it, the scourer begins to smell after a while. Unlike a dishcloth which I'd usually bleach to bring back to it's best, you can't bleach scourers as the sponge will disintegrate (I found out the hard way!). However, as they are so cheap, I tend to just use another one and throw the old one away, not very good for the environment though I might add. The Asda scourers are the same as any other cheap scourer, the sponge isn't quite as strong as some of the more expensive brands but they do the job and they do the job well. At 2.8 pence per scourer you really can't go wrong trying this brand out.
I would recommend these scourers and find although they don't last very long, they are comparable with other brands of the same price and I personally won't pay much more than this for scouring pads even though I do know you can buy scouring pads of better quality.
I have recently moved house and unfortunately we have downsized miraculously in our kitchen space which means we have no room for a dishwasher, so I have to result to washing up, shock horror! I was looking for cheap, reasonable quality washing up products whilst at Asda and came across these, 5 sponge scourers:
~ Product & Availability ~
These particular sponge scourers are only available at Asda as they are an own brand product. They come in a pack of five for a mere 14p which works out at just under 3p each! This is excellent value, especially when compared with Asda's general purpose sponge scourers which costs £1.46 for 10, where as two packs of these sponges would only set you back 28p!
~ Packaging ~
Asda's sponge scourers come in a very basic clear plastic wrapper with a white band across the front which has the words Asda smart price, 5 sponge scourers printed across it in green. The back of the packet tells you how to use the product and gives you Asda's contact details. The packaging isn't particularly attractive but it doesn't really matter as your hardly going to have a packet of sponges on display on your mantle piece.
~ Appearance & How they suffice when used ~
The sponges are the usual washing up sponge size, about the size of a large pack of cards. They are white in colour with a green scourer pad on top. The sponges are nice and spongey (obviously?) and soft and the scourer is quite rough. The scourer acts well when you have tough food stuck to the bottom of your pans but it does take a bit of elbow grease to get it moving. The bottom part of the sponge suffices fine for the usual messy plates and mugs and leaves them nice and clean. These sponges don't last long before the scourers have worn down and don't really serve any purpose anymore and it doesn't take long for the sponge to soak up all of your gravy from your Sunday dinner and store it, however this doesn't bother me because I throw them away after a day anyway as I don't fancy using a mucky sponge and spreading the muck on to other dishes. They don't really ring out that well either.
~ Other information ~
These scourers aren't supposed to be used on non-stick or delicate surfaces however I have done and the results have been fine.
Asda recommend using the sponges for individual purposes (as I do) for example, one for the cooker, one for the washing up, one for the surfaces etc...its not recommended to use one for them all (YUCK!)
~ Overall opinion ~
For 14p I will continue to buy these sponges, no they are not the best and they are definitely not the right thing for heavy duty cleaning, however they suit the purposes I use them for perfectly and I'm not prepared to pay extortionate prices for something I'm going to throw away after a couple of uses. I have only ever used these scourer sponges for washing up but I'm sure they would work just fine for other purposes too and would recommend trying them out if you're on a budget!
Overall I'm going to give these sponge scourers 4/5 Dooyoo stars, I can't give them the full 5 because of how quickly they wear down but for the price you can't expect anything else!
This is a review of Asda Smart Price 5 Sponge Scourers which I buy regularly, as we have only just got our dishwasher re-installed, I have been hand washing all the pots for the last year since we moved in to this house. One of the most helpful things for hand washing is to have a good supply of these sponges to hand as they start off springy and keen and then end up a bit flat, sad and discoloured.
In use
I have used more expensive brands in the past and found their performance to be equally limited. Plus, I just don't think it's healthy to use the same sponge for weeks on end so taking out a new one of these every few days won't break the bank. I tend to use these to mop up spills on the floor and then throw them away taking out a new one for the pots again. Another thing I use them for is disinfecting the surfaces and chopping boards. We use a spray cleaner which is important having a toddler in the house and a baby on the way so any bugs or bacteria are kept at bay.
To look at, the pads are yellow for the sponge bit and green for the wiry scouring part. OK they don't look glamorous but they do the job just fine.
A pack of five sponges costs just 14p which is brilliant, and I don't feel guilty chucking them away. You have to look hard (usually on the lower shelves) for these as the more expensive versions are usually place at eye level in store.
My thoughts
Really, my thoughts are why pay more? I have tried more expensive sponges and some have lasted a little longer but I also find these great for tackling other cleaning tasks around the home and certainly if I have given the bathroom a good scrub I can throw the sponge away rather than trying to clean it and save it for the next cleaning session.
Another use that is probably not on the list of recommendations is that I have used the harder side of the sponge when a car has touched my car and left their paint on it. I didn't scrub hard but found the abrasive side good enough to tidy up the paint work on my car.
Final word
It is good to have a stock of these sponges in for all cleaning duties. They work best for washing up but can be used to clean doors and pvc outside the house and window sills and other areas with soapy water. The abrasive side works well on bowls and pans and baked on food and the sponge side helps foam up washing up liquid. I am glad to have my dishwasher back in action now but will still hand wash using these sponges.
Having an Asda and a Tesco supermarket pretty close to home does mean that I will often have products from both in my home depending on where I have done my main shop and where I have bought extra bits that I need throughout the month! One product that I am currently using at home is the Asda smart price sponge scourers and I have used this product many times throughout the years of having my own home.
Asda smart price sponge scourers come in a pack of five and they sell for just 14 pence! They come wrapped in a thin plastic packaging which simply has the Asda smart price name on, the product name and a few bits of information. The product does look simple and very cheap to be honest but let's face it who cares really when it is a product which sits under your sink and when actually in use requires no packaging at all anyway.
The sponge scourers aren't particularly big and are certainly much smaller than the store branded ones which seem thicker and larger in general. They are made from a white coloured sponge and they have a green rough scourer attached to the top of the sponge for removing trickier food stains.
I find that these scourers are fine for washing up with for the most part and they will last a few weeks as a rule before needing replacing. In terms of dealing with the normal day to day washing up these do work well and I find that the top part of the sponge is rough enough to tackle some tricky stains on my slow cooker pot in particular.
They wash up as well as any other brand of scourer that I have used in the past for the most part but I do have a couple of niggles with them. My first niggle is simply that the white sponge really is white and it could do with being yellow, or even coloured a different colour, because when I wash up plates and pans after making a curry the sponge is immediately stained an orange colour which no amount of washing up liquid will shift! Secondly towards the end of the sponge's life I often find that the scourer part of it starts to hang off and just generally look messy. It annoys me when the top is hanging off and so I will replace my sponge when this happens.
I will continue to purchase these sponge pan cleaners simply because whilst money is tight for everyone at the moment I think it makes sense to try and use value products wherever you feel you can and this is one of those occasions for me. Ok so they probably are used faster than the store brand equivalent but when you consider the price for Asda scourers is 14p per scourer and you can have five for that price when buying the smart price range it really does make sense to me.
Thank you for reading my review!
I cook a lot of our meals from scratch and one of the meals that we've been having quite a lot just lately is Tofu stir fry as it's so quick and healthy. The tofu does have a tendancy to break up a little though, leaving the frying pan pretty messy and I usually use a scourer to wipe it down and get any stuck-on bits of food off of it before putting it in the dishwasher. Scourers are also handy for cleaning the sink, oven, wiping the kitchen sides down, washing up and so on.
They're great for scrubbing any stubborn grease or dirt off of hard surfaces and I always make sure that I have a pack or two in the house - I must admit that since me and my boyfriend moved into our first home together I've become a bit of a cleaning freak! I'm not picky when it comes to basic cleaning essentials such as scourers and I just buy whatever is on offer or cheap. Asda's own brand of smart price scourers are the ones that I've been using recently and I buy these as they're so cheap.
Despite being priced at an almost worryingly cheap fourteen pence per pack of five (2.8p per scourer), these are brilliant! The scourers come in a thin plastic packet which I find handy as the packet keeps them all together which is a lot neater than them being loose. The pack is transparent meaning you can see what you'll be getting for your money. The branding is minimal with the ASDA logo and product name. The scourers themselves are a rectangular shape and they're made of foam.
One side is smooth while the other is abrasive, this is the side that I use for scrubbing off any dirt etc off of surfaces and kitchen appliances. The scourers are a decent size and easy to grip and although they're quite thin they do feel quite good quality. I usually put a blob of dishwasher liquid on the abrasive side and then wipe down anything that's dirty.
They're great quality and don't fall apart like you'd expect for the price; they're suprisingly durable and I find that they do the job just as well as any other brand of scourers that I've used in the past. The only minor thing that I've noticed is that if one falls in the sink while I'm using it to scrub a dirty pan or something it absorbs a lot of water due to the material.
It takes ages to squeeze all the water out which means that the foam oozes water when scrubbing against something and it is not as firm; it goes all squidgy when it's really wet if that makes sense so scrubbing isn't as practical as it is when using a slightly damp scourer. Even when using the scourers when soaking wet though they don't fall apart and they still do the job.
I usually use these scourers on kitchen appliances such as frying pans and baking trays and they do a great job at getting any burnt bits/dried food/grease etc off quickly and easy. They're very durable and I find that they're a good size too - one is more than enough to clean up a dishwasher's load of pots and pans. The scourers do get grubby quite easily and I only use each scourer once for hygiene reasons.
Overall, I highly recommend these scourers; they're very cheap and do the job!
Sponge blocks with a piece of scouring pad attached to the top. They are very cheap and part of the Smart Price budget range offered by Asda.
I have heard a lot of positive things about the Smart Price cleaning products and I like saving money on this type of purchase so I have more left at the end of the month to do something fun with my family. These were 20p for 5 pads, I usually pay £1 for 6 in the pound shop.
The sponge goes very soft when it is wet and so does the scouring part. The sponge part is very good for wiping things down and you can use it very wet for an easier big cleaning job or just damp if you are just wiping something clean. I use them dry sometimes for small spills of water and juice because the sponge side is quite absorbent, but it is of no use for bigger puddles of liquid.
The scourer is good for light scrubbing but will wear down very quickly if you try to scrub off harder baked on mess. I use mine for scrubbing the inside of cups but it would not be very good for scrubbing a roasting pan or lasagne dish because the scouring pad is too weak.
I think these are a good thing to have in my kitchen and I will not buy the more expensive ones again because there is no need to spend more. Each one of these sponge scourers lasts me for 2 - 3 days and I think that is good because the cheap price means I can just buy three or four packets at a time so I always have lots in. The reason I throw them away is because they get very dirty very quickly but they do not lose their shape much or rip at all.
4 Dooyoo Stars.
There are a fair few products that i literally couldn't live without, with washing up sponges being one of them!
Not only do they get used on the actual washing up, but a multitude of other surfaces, walls, tables, windows and even on my laminate flooring when someone walks through the house with black rubber soled shoes (they can leave black marks, and i have found the green top of a sponge is harsh enough to clean it without stripping the varnish off too!).
As with thousands of people out there, i am always trying to reduce down the cost of my weekly shop, turning more often to the budget branded items available, to differing degrees of success!
This is one of the products where the budget brand really is as good as the dearer branded sponges!
Within the pack there are five sponges, all yellow foamed bottoms and green scrubby topped, the normal washing up sponge set up.
Each spong is a slightly rectangular shape, again pretty much the norm, with the only real discernable difference being that the depth of the sponges is about a third less than there dearer counterparts, this would be probably were the manufacturer claws back there profits.
This said however it doesn't seem to impead in the using of them, they are still effective enough for the purpose i use them.
Of course there has to be a downside and this for me is the longevity of use, which seems to be half that of another slightly thicker sponge (though of course again thnis depends on how you use them and how often, mine seems like twice a day!).
The sponge part does deteriate after a while, and the green scrubby top has by that time normally completely disintergrated (which is normally about the time said sponge becomes the bleach sponge, which will of course completely eat away at it!).
Price wise these are considerably cheaper than others available, with this being sold for around the 14p mark, which is a considerable saving.
Will i continue using them, yes i have done, these are a disposable item anyway, and even if they last a less time than the thicker ones, i am still saving money in the long run....recommended!

Thanks for reading x
Having recently spent a week in the countryside housesitting with my boyfriend, I was left to do the cleaning whilst he went to work everyday. I was lucky enough to get the week off of work, so I had plenty time to look after the animals and clean everything in sight! I also had plenty time to watch Wimbledon, which worked out pretty well in my eyes!
We decided not to spend too much on cleaning supplies for the week because it wasn't our house and we were only there for 7 days, so we picked up these Asda Smart Price Sponge Scourers for 14p and went on our merry way. The pack contains 5 sponges and slightly differs from the image above. The sponges are now white with the thin layer of green scourer still placed on top. The packet is very thin, crinkly plastic with a simple white and green Asda Smart Price logo on the front and some usage information on the back. There is also a Try Me, Love me section which claims to refund and replace the product if you are not 100% happy.
The sponges themselves are much smaller than the average sponge scourer but they look to be of decent quality when you pull it out of the packet and they feel quite nice too. It wasn't until I went to use it that I realised we'd made a poor decision. I wet the sponge first, as always, and then put it to use on the kitchen cooker, but after a minute or so of scrubbing and cleaning, the scourer started to peel away from the sponge and bits of the sponge started falling off. Now, I wasn't scrubbing particularly hard and there wasn't much to scrub at anyway, only a few splashes from the dinner we'd previously made. We were using a good cleaning product (one that I use in my own home on a nightly basis) so I know it wasn't the cleaning product either. I persevered a bit and managed to get the cooker clean, but I did end up with a few bits of sponge falling off onto the hob and it just meant a bit more tidying up than it should've been!
I thought it was maybe just all the lumps and bumps of the cooker shredding these sponges, so I used one to clean the shower cubicle but it ended up falling apart in my hands too. Not impressed.
As you can imagine, I didn't expect fantastic quality sponge for less than 3p each, but I did expect it to last longer than a few minutes before falling apart. We ended up just using these to wash out the water trays for the chickens so that they didn't go to waste, but I wouldn't ever use them for cleaning the house again.
As I mentioned before, they do have a Try Me, Love Me option, but as far as I'm concerned it'd be a little bit stingy to complain about my 14p packet of sponges!
Bonus: These would maybe come in handy for children's painting. You could cut them up into different shapes and you'd get different textures with the sponge side and the scourer side. They aren't totally useless, just not useful for their intended use.
Thanks for reading!

AudiometryAudiometry; Hearing test; Audiography (audiogram)
An audiometry exam tests your ability to hear sounds. Sounds vary based on their loudness (intensity) and the speed of sound wave vibrations (tone).
Hearing occurs when sound waves stimulates the nerves of the inner ear. Eventually the sound travels along nerve pathways to the brain.
Sound waves can travel to the inner ear through the ear canal, eardrum, and bones of the middle ear (air conduction), or through the bones around and behind the ear (bone conduction).
The INTENSITY of sound is measured in decibels (dB):
- A whisper is about 20 dB
- Loud music (some concerts) is around 80 - 120 dB
- A jet engine is about 140 - 180 dB
Sounds greater than 85 dB can cause hearing loss after a few hours. Louder sounds can cause immediate pain, and hearing loss can develop in a very short time.
The TONE of sound is measured in cycles per second (cps) or Hertz:
- Low bass tones range around 50 - 60 Hz
- Shrill, high-pitched tones range around 10,000 Hz or higher
The normal range of human hearing is about 20 Hz - 20,000 Hz. Some animals can hear up to 50,000 Hz. Human speech is usually 500 - 3,000 Hz.
How the Test is Performed
The first steps are to see whether you need an audiogram. The specific procedures may vary, but they generally involve blocking one ear at a time and checking your ability to hear whispers, spoken words, or the sound of a ticking watch.
A tuning fork may be used. The tuning fork is tapped and held in the air on each side of the head to test the ability to hear by air conduction. It is tapped and placed against the mastoid bone behind each ear to test bone conduction.
Audiometry provides a more precise measurement of hearing. To test air conduction, you wear earphones attached to the audiometer. Pure tones of controlled intensity are delivered to one ear at a time. You are asked to raise a hand, press a button, or otherwise indicate when you hear a sound.
The minimum intensity (volume) required to hear each tone is graphed. An attachment called a bone oscillator is placed against the bone behind each ear (mastoid bone) to test bone conduction.
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is needed.
How the Test Will Feel
There is no discomfort. The length of time varies. An initial screening may take about 5 to 10 minutes. Detailed audiometry may take about 1 hour.
Why the Test is Performed
This test can detect hearing loss at an early stage. It may also be used when you have difficulty hearing from any cause.
Common causes of hearing loss include:
- Acoustic trauma
- Chronic ear infections
- Diseases of the inner ear
- Head injury
- Inherited conditions
- Medications that can harm the inner ear, including certain antibiotics (such as neomycin or gentamycin), diuretics, and large doses of salicylates (such as aspirin)
- Occupational hearing loss
- Ruptured eardrum
Normal Results
- The ability to hear a whisper, normal speech, and a ticking watch is normal.
- The ability to hear a tuning fork through air and bone is normal.
- In detailed audiometry, hearing is normal if you can hear tones from 250 Hz - 8,000 Hz at 25 dB or lower.
What Abnormal Results Mean
There are many different kinds and degrees of hearing loss. In some types, you only lose the ability to hear high or low tones, or you lose only air or bone conduction. The inability to hear pure tones below 25 dB indicates some hearing loss.
The amount and type of hearing loss may give clues to the cause and outlook.
The following conditions may affect test results:
- Acoustic neuroma
- Acoustic trauma
- Age-related hearing loss
- Alport syndrome
- Labyrinthitis
- Meniere's disease
- Occupational hearing loss
- Otosclerosis
- Ruptured or perforated eardrum
There is no risk.
There are many different hearing function tests. In simple screenings, the health care provider will make a loud noise and watch to see if it startles you. Detailed screenings include brainstem auditory evoked response testing (BAER). This test uses an electroencephalogram to detect brain wave activity when sounds are made.
Another hearing test called otoacoustic emission testing (OAE) can be used in very young children (such as newborns) or when standard tests do not produce reliable results.

84 graves discovered under Atlanta golf course
(NEWSER) – When you're ready to tee off, you probably don't expect it's from above a dead body ... but as many as 84 graves have been uncovered beneath an Atlanta golf course. Locals told stories of a cemetery beneath the course, which was built in the 1930s, and the discovery of an old map led to those stories being verified. Researchers used ground-penetrating sonar to find the graves by locating air pockets two to four feet underground. The graveyard is thought to have been a cemetery for people who lived in poorhouses in the early 1900s, and it's not clear how or why the golf course was built over it.
