Dangerous Decibels


  • At a rock concert you may only spend 2 minutes listening to the music or else your ears will start to ring.
  • We have these strings that stick up in our ear and if you listen to something very loud for a long period of time they will start to bend.
  • If you are working with a power tool that is very loud you have to wear ear muffs if you don't want to damage their ears.
  • The louder the tool or object the higher the decibels and more of a chance  to damage your ears.
  • Do you think ear buds are meant for you ears? Well they are not nothing is supposed to be in your ear canal. There is more of a chance to penetrate you ear drum.
  • Do you remember you mum shouting at you because you have ear wax? Well ear wax is actually a natural cleaning tool for your ear.
  • Do you think you are listening to sound? Well your not you are listening to vibrations, very detailed vibrations.
  • Do you think it is possible for selective hearing? Well it actually is if your ears are real sensitive and trained for it then you can.
  • To prove that vibrations produce sound you can go by a tuning for from a music store and hit it on the ground and put it next to your ear and you will hear something.
  • You can also prove that sound produces energy. You tie a ping-pong ball to a piece of string, then take your tuning fork bang it on the ground and place it next to your ball and the ball will bounce of of the fork.
  • You may spend as much time around a dishwasher because a dishwasher does not produce that much sound or vibration.
  • If you wear earphones it is much more dangerous for your ears because there is nothing to protect them from damage.
  • Headphones are more safe because there is padding that protect your ears from any damage what so ever.
  • Your ears drums are as thin a tissue paper so be careful around your ear canal.
  • It is much more safer to jump to the bottom of a deep pool that to swim down slowly.
