The consciousness of hearing loss
At present, the human being is very unconscious with auditory health care and care. The ear is exposed to a strenuous mistreatment mainly by young.
According to the study conducted at the San Juan Bautista Chorrillos Private University in Peru, 100 young people between 20 and 29 years old, both female and male, demonstrates that only 28% of them adequately use their headphones, while while 72% use it erroneously and indiscriminately. (Negron, 2017)
The author considers that it is of fundamental importance that health science professionals promote the proper use of headphones, Negron (2017) points out that “headphones in the first place must be of good quality and high acoustic isolation index and their Use must be in short periods, which would allow the rest of the ears exposed to the sounds emitted by these headphones ”, if the indiscriminate use could not be, it could cause in some cases irreversible effects on the hearing.
According to WHO. But in the study carried out that the majority of the students surveyed exceed the recommended time and to this it was added that the devices used did not comply with the rules established for their use since according to Negron (2017) “Intrauricular headphones are the more harmful because they are placed closer to the eardrum and added to the quantity of volume and to the time of use increases the possibility of generating hearing loss or loss of hearing.
In another study, the author indicates that noise is something that accompanies everyone, either with vehicle noise, music in restaurants, bars, buses and that even more in cell phones, these devices being the main causes of hearing problems at an early age, Carpio (2010) points out that "by bringing each one their music, it is isolated from the world around it, and if its volume will not be regulated, they will have deaf young people".
The corporate satellite hospital in Mexico City explains that the appropriate volume when using hearing aids is a level in which both sounds that are reproduced in the headset and those that occur in the environment are heard, and that there is no need to shout to go to someone as they are used. The sounds cause damage to the ear from the 85 decibels and as examples of these are the noise caused by the vehicles, at 90 decibels the sound of the tractor that cuts the grass, and the one that emits hearing the MP3 music players can reach 100 decibels.
In the investigation carried out 200 high school students from the Francisco Febres Cordero Educational Unit in the city of Cuenca, he showed that adolescents and young people use headphones for up to 2 hours a day, at high volume intensities and with the button -type headset that is The most harmful, that despite knowing information about the serious repercussions caused by using these implements, they do not become aware of these risks.
The authors Arpi & Juca (2016), recommend that “young people and adolescents who use headphones must undergo audiological tests and keep control of their hearing every year or every six months according to the results of their first evaluation”.
The investigation indicated that the main consequence of the use of headphones will be hearing loss. The symptoms at the beginning will be imperceptible, but as its use continues, buzzing, headaches, feeling of ear tamponade, can last for minutes, hours, days and then disappear, days and then disappear and then disappear. Points out that noise can affect cognitive process during the learning process, causing distraction, problems in student performance, memory loss, sleep alterations, and stress.
The Audiology Commission of the National Society of Otolaryngology – Head and neck, indicates that young people from 20 years of age already present the first symptoms of hearing loss, which usually witness in adults between 40 and 60 years, the main reason why this condition is given is due to the excessive use of hearing aids with very high volume sounds.
Dr. Lavilla explains that “” Until now ".
Scientists in Argentina checked through an experiment conducted in two groups of rats, which by subject to strong noise can be affected the memory and learning mechanisms, the first group was subjected to two hours of exposure and the other group Two weeks, rats suffered cell damage in the brain, these effects were given at the hippocampus level, a region associated with memory and learning processes. The researcher Guelman explained that ‘this suggests that the same could happen in humans in the development stage, although it will be difficult to verify because we cannot expose children to this type of experiments’, considering that the nervous system of the rats is similar to humans.
The World Health Organization recommends young people to use low volume headphones, get away from strong noise and limit the daily use time of personal audio devices, indicates that attention should be paid to warning signs of audition loss As are the tinnitus sounds or the difficulty to hear acute sounds, recommends going to a specialized auditory health. It also recommends the creation of preventive campaigns in schools, universities, neighborhoods, workplaces for early detention of auditory problems and that the quality of life can be improved, since although the sound exceeds 120 decibels does not cause deafness, it can cause a Gradual and irreversible damage to hearing.
