whatever the setting and without
disturbing others. When used at
high volumes, they not only annoy
your neighbors (who either try
fruitlessly to tune you out 'or strug-
gle frantically to figure out the song
through all the static), but they also
reduce your chances of enjoying the
music in the future.
So next time you are out and
about, turn down the volume and
keep your hearing. If you can't
enjoy your system at low volumes,
you can always join the trend of
popular musicians who are going
"unplugged." If it is good enough
for Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart...

Turn down the volume, save hearing
All around Bruce and Grcy,
people -are biking, lifting, hiking
and jogging to get in shape and
take advantage of our great sum-
mer. For a lot of people,, the per-
sonal stereo is the perfect com-
panion for these endeavors. It's a
chance to wet their musical ap-
petites while taking part in their _
favourtie activities. Unfortunately, a
lot of these folks are doing ir-
reparable damage to their hearing
by "pumping up .the volume."
Loud music, just like the noise of
a chainsaw or a jet engine can
damage hearing. In fact,•a personal
stereo set at volume six for just 30
minutes can result in some per-
manent hearing loss!
The intensity of sound is
measured in decibels. '1'hc most
intense sound in nature is a
thunderclap measuring 120 (decibels.
An amplified rock group can also
reach 120 (decibels. Test show that
stereo headphones, set at around
volume four (on the usual 10 point
scale), produce 9)5 decibels of
sound. hearing loss begins at 85
d4,'cihcl,;.
In comparison, a jet airplane 100
feel away produces 1.40 decibels. A
boiler factory produces 130
decibels. A police siren. 100 feet

away generates 100 decibels. Heavy
traffic produces 90 decibels and a
.whisper only creates 20 decibels.
According to Health and Welfare
Canada, established permissible
daily noise exposure levels are 90
decibels for four hours daily, 100
decibels for two hours, or 110
decibels for one half hour or less.
Occupational health regulations
state that after exposure to 95
decibels for four hours, people
should wear ear protection.
Intense sound affects hearing by
damaging the tiny fragile hair cells
of the inner ear. These hair cells
pick up sound waves and arc the
first step in transferring. sound to
the brain. Once these cells become
damaged, permanent hearing loss
occurs.
Hearing loss is usually a gradual
process and often accompanies the
aging process. It frequently goes
unnoticed by the individual until
someone else points it out. Loud,
persistent sound can cause hearing
loss at any age.
While experts don't agree on the
exact effects of personal stereo seLs
on hearing, they do agree. that
prolonged listening with the volume
set 00 high will produce hearing
damage. If used properly,
walkabout stereos .can provide the
friends meet
others to find their ancestors per-
haps we can use or adapt that tech-
nique to help us find success in
learning about our ancestors.
