The decibel scale is simple and easy to use because it does not involve long linear numbers. Decibel gives approximation of the response of human ear to loudness of the sound. There must be a weighing network with every unit of decibel at the end of it. This weighting network at the end of decibel unit is used to differentiate sound based on its frequency (Zulkepli & Hazel‚ 2000). There are three categories

for Occupational Safety and Health‚ more than 15 minutes of exposure to 100 decibels is unsafe. The noise in a football stadium can reach 100 to 130 decibels. And noise that is potentially dangerous to an adult is even more dangerous to a child because a young child’s ear canal is much smaller than an older child’s or an adult’s‚ the sound pressure entering the ear is greater. An infant might perceive a sound as 20 decibels louder than an older child or an adult. The shorter length of the ear canal

Simple caregiver tasks such as running water‚ opening packages inside an incubator‚ disposing of trash in a metal container‚ and placing formula bottles on a bedside table‚ all can produce sounds well over recommended levels‚ some as loud as 75.3 decibels (Johnson‚ 2003). However‚ an optimal physical‚ psychological‚ and social environment is a necessity for the preterm infant to have the best outcome‚ and safe sound levels are essential for healthy development.

“Technological Advances in Music and its effects” Introduction In the early years of music‚ musicians performed on stage with live bands and orchestras to the locals in the community. Their music consisted of many harmonies and rhythms that would relax the mind and ease stress. Their classical style of music had more of a string type sound‚ in comparison to the rough and rugged sounds of today’s music. Did this rough music affect the way we hear things compared to their classical harmonic sounds

decrease? Temporary Threshold Shifts (TTS) are temporary changes in the hearing level resulting from sound levels higher than 70-75 decibels (dB). It may occur suddenly after exposure to loud level of sound. Temporary threshold shifts results in temporary hearing loss. An example of this is listening to music in high volume with their earphones or headphones which has decibels over 70-80. The recovery time would definitely decrease‚ because you’re not giving your ears enough time to rest and it would

has two aspects which influences the surrounding environment‚ namely the amplitude of the sound waves‚ and the frequency. 1.3.1 Amplitude The amplitude of a sound wave determines the intensity or “loudness” of the wave and is normally measure in decibels [dB]. Amplitude is the measured of the “height” of the wave. Higher amplitude would result in a louder sound whereas lower amplitude would result in softer sound. The human ear can hear within the range of 0dB to 140 dB‚ if the hearing is undamaged

neighbors‚ and other sources from the outside world. Sound walls along highways can shield nearby neighborhoods from traffic noise. Individuals should protect themselves with earplugs or mufflike ear protectors‚ particularly when noise levels exceed 85 decibels. In the industrialized nations‚ governments have laws and policies to counter noise pollution. In the United States‚ at least six federal agencies are involved in controlling noise pollution. Since 1969 the FAA has monitored and controlled noise

Our knowledge of the world depends on the senses: vision‚ hearing‚ taste‚ smell‚ position‚ movement‚ balance‚ and touch. If someone bounces a basketball‚ our eyes and ears pick up stimuli such as light and sound waves and send neural signals to the brain. This process
