Normal sound is very good for us and we enjoy it by listening music FM. But if the sound is very louder then it can damage our ear.The normal voice is near about 60 dB or under 60 dB the sound is very sweet. But if noise reaches 80 dB or above to it then it creates the problem for our ears.
Workers can be exposed to a wide array of noise exposures doing different tasks. They also may be exposed to noise while at sporting venues or participating in variuos recreational activities. Evaluating noise exposure correctly is just as important as selecting the right controls. This presentation examines the physics of noise, how to measure it, who to include in a hearing conservation program, and what controls can be used to reduce the risk.
In unit 8L Sound and Hearing you are expected to:
build on your knowledge of sound and hearing
explain how sound travels through media (solid, liquid and gas)
give an explanation of how the human ear works,
find out about the harmful effects of loud noise and how loud noise can be reduced
Protecting workers from Noise Induced Hearing Loss - webinar Jan 28, 2015Medgate Inc.
Of all of the occupational health issues facing organizations today, noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) is the most common.In the United States alone, over 30 million people are exposed to noise every year, and nearly one in four cases of hearing loss among workers is caused by exposures on the job. Frighteningly, the number of employees affected by noise is steadily increasing each year, despite the fact that NIHL is completely preventable. It is clear that action must be taken to arrest this trend.
The most effective way to combat this threat is through education of both the workforce who are exposed to noise and the staff who look to protect them.
This webinar will:
provide a definition of noise.
discuss the importance of noise induced hearing loss as an occupational disease.
describe the different physical impacts of noise.
outline best practices for implementing and improving a hearing conservation program.
About 30 million workers are exposed to hazardous noise on the job. One in 4 of these workers (or 7.5 million Americans) will develop permanent hearing loss.Noise-induced hearing loss is the most common occupational hazard for American workers.Hearing loss from noise is slow and painless; you can have a disability before you notice it.If you must raise your voice to speak with someone only 3 feet away, you are in high (hazardous) noise. It is 100% preventable

How to Improve Hearing Loss Problem Right Now - Better Hearing Centers ankit kumar
As many as 10% of our Kentucky population suffers from hardness or hearing loss. A large part of this can be helped with hearing aids, provided that these problems quickly come to light and can be diagnosed. Unfortunately, this is not always the case in practice: the majority of these ten percent (up to 75%) do not test their hearing. The result is not only that the hardness or hearing loss continues to worsen, but also that the quality of life of that group is drastically reduced.

Concern is growing about the rising exposure to loud sounds in recreational settings such as nightclubs, discotheques, pubs, bars, cinemas, concerts, sporting events and even fitness classes. With the popularization of technology, devices such as music players are often listened to at unsafe volumes and for prolonged periods of time. Regular participation in such activities poses a serious threat of irreversible hearing loss.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

do with the individual’s total dose.
You have to think about all the loud sounds
that the individual will be exposed to during
the day.
12. Functional ImpactFunctional Impact
Decreased sensitivity (you need sounds
louder to hear them)
Diminished clarity (frequency resolution is
poor). This impacts playing music,
enjoying music, and hearing speech.
Tinnitus (ringing sounds, often high
pitched)

The impact of hearing loss may not be noticed for
years
These times are based on adult data and there are
some animal studies that suggest that children are
more susceptible
19. What can instrumental instructorsWhat can instrumental instructors

– Let’s talk about hearing protection…
25. Description of School ProgramsDescription of School Programs
A recent national study estimated that
approximately 12% of all children ages 6 to
19 years have noise-induced hearing loss.
Children are the fastest growing population
of individuals with noise-induced hearing
loss.
26. Goals of the ProgramGoals of the Program

27. Putting Hearing Protection inPutting Hearing Protection in
ContextContext
We would not consider sending students to chemistry
class or shop class without protective goggles.
We would not consider allowing students to play
football without a helmet.
We may know that a football player rides his bike
with no helmet, but that would not make us decide
not to bother with a helmet during football just
because he has increased his chance of having a head
injury anyway.
Parents have the right to assume that schools make
school activities as safe as possible using current
information and technology.
28. It actually would be much simpler if noise
induced hearing loss caused pain or
bleeding – then you can be sure hearing
protection would be required.
The damage is invisible…finally there is
functional impact but it can be years after
the damage
29. Are we saying that music isAre we saying that music is
dangerous?dangerous?
No, but we are saying like many things we
engage in, you need to use the appropriate
equipment to make it safe and to be able to
enjoy it over a long period of time.
30. Successful Programs So FarSuccessful Programs So Far
What message is the teacher sending if he/she wears
hearing protection in front of students? Good health
habits
Mandatory – when you come into the band room, the first
thing you do is get your hearing protection.
No hearing protection – you don’t participate in class.
(keep lots of extras)
Help the students adjust. It takes about 2 weeks to get
used to using the hearing protection (horns are the
toughest)
31. Easy to useEasy to use
The plugs come with cords so the students can
have them in and out if needed and drape them
over their necks
The plugs come in a case that can be hooked to a
back pack or instrument case
Students are welcome to use these earplugs
throughout their days, weekends, etc. or the
teacher may want to keep them in the band room
32. Who should absolutely be usingWho should absolutely be using

Professional Musicians
All ages
33. What about IPods?What about IPods?
They are not inherently dangerous.
It’s the level and amount of time.
Custom earplugs can reduce the volume used, but
then you can’t hear the sounds around you.
I’m only talking about hearing safety, there are
other concerns with being “plugged” in for hours
and not interacting with your environment.
Remember, it’s all about total dose.

35. Arms-Length RuleArms-Length Rule
If you have to shout to be heard from 3 feet
away, then the noise (music) is too loud.
Turn down the volume or wear hearing
protection.
37. FactsFacts
Any type of music can cause
permanent hearing loss and
ringing in the ears.
It is intensity level and length of
exposure that matters.
The type of hearing loss people
get from sound exposure is
permanent.
The loss starts in the high
frequencies and progresses. It
causes difficulty
communicating in noisy
situations and impacts how
music is perceived.
Sound exposure also may
cause ringing in the ears
(tinnitus).
Some musicians need to
wear hearing protection
when they are practicing
alone.
All musicians need to
wear hearing protection
when they are playing in a
group (band, orchestra) if
they want to avoid hearing
loss.
Editor's Notes
The ear is divided into 3 parts, each with its own function.
The outer ear collects sounds from the environment and funnels them down the ear canal to the eardrum.
The eardrum vibrates and moves three tiny bones, the Hammer, the Anvil and the Stirrup. This movement amplifies the sounds and pass them on to the inner ear.
The sound vibrations are converted to nerve impulses by the microscopic hair cells of the cochlea.
From there, the impulses travel along the auditory nerve to the brain.
The peripheral auditory system is located deep within the temporal bone of the skull. The inner ear structures are located roughly posterior or the eye sockets. This slide provides a very simplified animation of the position of these structures as they would be discovered during a dissection.
