teen health ears music decibels

shared by Damonte Johnson on 30 Jun 10 - Cached
  • The amount of energy in the noise and the damage it can do to your hearing increases very rapidly as it gets louder. In fact, noise energy doubles for every 3 decibels (3dB) increase in the loudness of the sound - and 3dB is such a small increase in loudness that you probably wouldn't even notice it.
  • What sort of noise causes the harm? For young people in particular, the most dangerous noise is amplified music, for example in gigs and clubs. Headphones, car stereos and mobile phones are also having a bad effect on the hearing of young people.
  • Research shows that 25% of people listen to headphones at a level that will cause hearing damage. Follow the 60/60 rule - don't have your player above 60% of the maximum volume, and don't listen to it for more than 60 minutes at a time.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • One study suggests that listening to headphones at 80% for 90 minutes a day can lead to hearing loss. The authors say that this can take years for the damage to show up, so young people might not notice a loss of hearing until they are in their late 20s. At 100% for only five minutes you could do damage.
  • dulled hearing difficulty in understanding speech feeling full inside your ears ringing or high-pitched noise in your ears
  • In night clubs - where much of the damage is done - do not stay long, don't go too often and keep well away from the loudspeakers - or go somewhere else where the music is not so loud.

    This is a very wonderful story based on pregnancy I think that girl's should not have any abortion's because you should never been doing what you was doing. Don't go get a abortion and your killing yourself and your baby. This is going to come back on you and you will have dreams about it. You will start wondering I should of keep my baby. Instead you drop him like he/she was some trash I really don't get why do females kill there baby. It will keep going on and on. If you don't want a baby now I suggest you find safety and protection if you don't want one. You just got to think about the living of it you killed your child that you had it really don't make any sence why you did what you did to have it. Question did you know that you had it.

  • “I love it,” said Esslinger from Vienna, where he teaches “convergent industrial design” at the University of Applied Arts. “The iPad is the beginning of a new category — one that is hyper-convergent and humanistic.”
  • For a device to be compelling as a “casual computer” it has to have both the right user interface and the right “form factor,” designer lingo for a manageable and easy-to-use industrial design.
  • “The iPad is merging humanistic innovation with a culture of design and interaction that reaches the levels of high art,” says Esslinger. “In a digital world mostly deprived of any truly inspired product and experience culture, Apple stands out even more. The nearly forgotten American Dream of excellence and success is alive thanks to Steve Jobs!”

  • The EPA will remove PCBs and TCE from subsurface soils and remove PCBs in two on-site buildings.
  • “This clean-up is absolutely critical because so many children are potentially at- risk across the street at the Herbert Hoover Boys & Girls Club,” said U.S. Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay (D-MO).
  • the agency plans a thermally enhanced extraction of two toxins: trichloroethylene (TCE), a chlorinated industrial solvent, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a cancer-causing chemical once used in electrical transformers that were disassembled at a building on the site.

    ScienceDaily (July 11, 2011) — One in 10 species could face extinction by the year 2100 if current climate change impacts continue. This is the result of University of Exeter research, examining studies on the effects of recent climate change on plant and animal species and comparing this with predictions of future declines.

  • "Speaking just for myself, I was concerned when I heard about these bonuses," said David Weber, chairman of the Zoo-Museum District's board. It stands out from "what we've heard from the other institutions and the cost-cutting measures they're taking."
  • In Boyle's case, Hellman said, the financial officer deserved her bonus, even though she started so late in 2010. "She gave us a really good transition," he said, "and we rewarded her for that outstanding contribution."
  • "It removes any concerns that taxpayers might have," Hellman said. "But we're still going to use incentive compensation in certain years and with certain people. We still believe it's right."
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The pay is tied to objective performance standards that vary depending on executives' responsibilities, said Ted Hellman,
  • "The science center is on a trajectory that is very serious," Ben Uchitelle, a former Clayton mayor who chairs the Zoo-Museum District's audit committee, said at a May 31 meeting. "It spends more than it makes."
  • "They have a right to review our finances, and they have done so consistently in the past," Hellman said. "We welcome the review."

study news iPod deafness

shared by Damonte Johnson on 30 Jun 10 - Cached
  • The study, by researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Children's Hospital in Boston, indicates a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70 percent volume using stock earphones, according to Cory Portnuff, a doctoral researcher in CU-Boulder's speech language and hearing sciences department.
  • The researchers found that listening to music at full volume through an iPod for more than five minutes a day using stock earphones can increase the risk of hearing loss in a typical person
  • Typical individuals can tolerate about two hours a day of a decibel unit known as 91-dBA before risking hearing loss, Portnuff said. The term dBA stands for "A-weighted decibels, a scale that takes into account that the human ear has different sensitivities to different frequency levels,"
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Loud sounds can stress and potentially damage delicate hair cells in the inner ear that convert mechanical vibrations, or sound, to electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. "Over time, the hair cells can become permanently damaged and no longer work
  • No one set of earphones is more dangerous than another," he said. "While isolator style earphones are capable of producing higher levels of sound than earbuds, most people use them at a lower volume than earbuds because they block out background noise. It's important to monitor the level of volume control settings."
