actually cause hearing loss Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a byproduct of our
advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm but it also detracts from the quality of life for thoseexposed to it

we would respond to danger Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much morethan an annoyance It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damagenot only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach We have long known that hearing loss is America’snumber one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may bevictims of noise Investigate on human subjects have demonstrated that babies are affected by noise even beforethey are born Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more sensitive togastrointestinal problems after birth In addition, the psychological effect of noise is very important Nervousness,irritability, tension, and anxiety increase, affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activitiesduring waking hours, as well as the way that we interact with one another

Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution, it is verydifficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly subjective and, therefore,variable Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may
actually cause hearing loss Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a byproduct of our
advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm but it also detracts from the quality of life for thoseexposed to it
Trang 11Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is, therefore,always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection.
Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes accustomed Loud noisesinstinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings In response,
heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense In fact, there is a
general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some oftheseresponses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that
we would respond to danger Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much morethan an annoyance It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damagenot only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach We have long known that hearing loss is America’snumber one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may bevictims of noise Investigate on human subjects have demonstrated that babies are affected by noise even beforethey are born Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more sensitive togastrointestinal problems after birth In addition, the psychological effect of noise is very important Nervousness,irritability, tension, and anxiety increase, affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activitiesduring waking hours, as well as the way that we interact with one another
