People are affected by noise, according to research and in the case of children, studies show that noise pollution is linked with gradual hearing loss, which in turn can affect:
Their speech
Their language
Children’s cognitive, social and emotional development
Excessive noise is also linked with:
Sleep disorders
Increased blood pressure
Poor digestion
Slower learning
Increased irritability
Increased aggression.
Regular noise and hearing impairment
Would one loud party ruin a child’s ears and cause this list of problems? Almost definitely not, but there are some interesting facts and perspectives to keep in mind if your teen likes to pump up the volume.
Hearing loss due to noise is something that usually builds over time, but then becomes permanent. You may think that no harm is being done by loud sounds, since your hearing seems to return to normal once you leave the noise of, for example, a concert.
In reality, however, each exposure causes a little damage; and the louder a noise is, the less time it takes for damage to occur. By leaving your children to believe that noise (such as loud music, loud gaming, movies and videos) is an essential part of fun, you increase the chances that they will choose to turn up the volume whenever they listen to devices. After all, ‘kids just wanna have fun’, huh?!
It is important to distinguish between sound - which is one extremely important way children learn about their world - and noise, which becomes a threat to health and wellbeing.
