so i'm sitting here at working and doing work related research, and then i come across this:
Hearing Loss Prevention Program for Teens
Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is a common and often disturbing accompaniment of occupational hearing impairment and has a risk for teenagers attending pop concerts and discotheques."
The Hearing Foundation of Canada sees an urgent need to make teens and pre-teens aware now of the hazard of overexposure to noise will cause to their hearing in the years ahead.
some precautions:
-Buy ear plugs for concerts and dances. (If they think that's not cool, tell them musicians like Metallica band members wear ear plugs)
-Let them know that stuffing tissue in their ears does not work - it muffles sound but does nothing to protect against damage.
-Tell them to stay away from the speakers, and go outside every half an hour and give their ears a break :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop:
-And if they have ringing in their ears after an event, that is a sign of over exposure and damage to their ears
i don't know about the rest of you, but i think my hearing has been affected...yay!!!! ummm....where's the nearest speaker?? :tongue2 |

| i heard about something cool from a friend of mine. There are now -he saw on tv- xmas tree shaped ear plugs, which filter out the low-frequency (which is what damages your ears) yet, leaves the high-frequencies untouched. You can still FEEL the bass, and hear the treble.. i gotta try those.. |
