Today, all kinds of portable players are booming, MP3, MP4 and music phones have made our life more and more exciting, and our hearing is getting weaker and weaker. .
Some studies have pointed out that in Europe alone, listening to loud music will cause up to 10 million people to face permanent hearing loss.
Hearing in the noise
The inner ear of the human body has 18,000 cells that are sensitive to hearing. They are ciliated cells with a diameter of about 0.01 mm. They are susceptible to noise and cannot be regenerated once damaged. .
According to statistics, workers who work for 40 years in an environment with a production noise of 100 decibels have a prevalence of noise deafness of 41%. When people use portable players such as MP3, even low. The volume is listening to rock music, the volume has exceeded 90 decibels, and sometimes the eardrum receives noise of up to 115 decibels. Also, the earphones of the player are mostly plugged in the external auditory canal, and the energy of the noise is concentrated in the ear, and the danger is greatly increased. If the eardrum is repeatedly subjected to noise stimulation for a long time, it may eventually cause permanent deafness due to irreversible damage of the auditory cells.
Protecting your hearing and staying away from noise
Therefore, to protect your hearing, keep away from the threat of noise. Usually, watching TV, using computer for audio and video entertainment, etc. should not be too long, the volume should not be too high, and don’t put headphones in your ears for listening to audio for a long time. In addition, vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C protect the auditory cells and can be supplemented appropriately. You can also eat more foods rich in vitamin B and C, such as whole grains, lean meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, fruits and so on.
