Be sure to include a hearing
examination in your regular
medical examination. In case of
accident or infection, get
professional medical attention.
If you’re exposed to job noise,
wear the protective equipment
and make sure it’s in good con
dition.
Noise Pollution
in the Home
One of the greatest nonfatal
health hazards today is noise or
ear pollution. A little noise may
do no harm at all, but excessive
noise is a leading cause of
hearing loss, according to June
Wilke, Chester County Extension
home economist.
Your hearing is one of your
most precious possessions. The
cost of hearing losses is high - in
physical and psychological
discomfort, in job efficiency and
money for medical bills.
Recognize your sensitivity to
noise, Miss Wilke says. Some
people are more sensitive to noise
than others. But everyone is
affected by excessive noise to
some degree. Your sensitivity
depends on the loudness and pitch
of noise, the amount of time
you’re exposed and your distance
from it. Your surrroundings,
position of the noise source, your
age and any previous ear trouble
will also influence your sen
sitivity. Long periods of exposure
to noise can result in permanent
damage to the inner ear. Also,
intermittent noise is easier on
your ears than continued noise.
When you have all of the ap
pliances in your kitchen running,
it’s the noisiest room in the house.
With many appliances going at
once, the noise level may be in
the danger level for hearing.
Think of all the devices you
have in your kitchen that may be
running at the same time—a
range vent fan, garbage disposal,
dishwasher, refrigerator,
blender, mixer. Don’t forget the
water faucet and the sound the
drain makes. Add sounds from
other parts of your home air
conditioner, hair dryer, fans or
furnace, washing machine and
dryer, vacuum, typewriter. Then
add family conversation and a
radio or television.
To control the noise in your
home, decide what noises are
necessary. Then eliminate those
others that you don’t need. Or
mkke changes to lessen their ill
effects.
You can make your home a
quiet, restful place, says Miss
Wilke. Use cushions under noisy
appliances. When your dish
washer or washer are running,
leave that area. Test out
draperies and rugs for sound
absorption before you buy them.
Make rules for loud music. When
no one is listening, turn off the
radio and television. Make an
effort to speak in quieter tones
and have special “quiet times” in
your home.
