6. Challenges
In crowded city headphone-wearers are simply masking the sounds of urban and
industrial noise with more noise. Not only does this cause social isolation, it
typically increases the risk of long-term hearing damage
The increase in population and frenetic activity of our cities is causing a
proportional increase in the noise generated by vehicle traffic, followed by
industrial, business and night-life activity
Many countries lack financial resources as well as capacity and skills to effectively
tackle noise pollution due to limited awareness of the harms and urgency of the
issue
