Australians living with the rare neurological condition intracranial hypertension (IH) will help shape new Curtin University research aimed at improving healthcare and support, thanks to National Disability Research Partnership funding.

IH affects up to 4500 Australians and sees pressure build around the brain, can cause causing severe headaches, vision problems, fatigue and cognitive difficulties.

Led by Dr Kelly Moes, who also lives with IH, the project will bring together people with the condition from across Australia to identify gaps in care and priorities for future action.

Working with IH Australia, the team will develop recommendations to help guide future research, policy and clinical care.

Ever wondered what the world sounds like to a sea lion?

Curtin University and Taronga Conservation Society Australia at Taronga Zoo researchers have conducted the first hearing tests on Australian sea lions and long-nosed fur seals.

Both species were most sensitive to sounds around 3.2 kilohertz. The findings provide a baseline to help understand how noise from ships, boats, aircraft and coastal construction could affect them.

Lead researcher Professor Christine Erbe from the Centre for Marine Science and Technology said knowing what animals can hear is the first step in understanding whether human-made noise is affecting them.
