Their <b>cochleas</b> contain sensitive <b>sensory cells</b>. These cells make it possible for you to hear sounds. <br/> <br/> <b>Loud or continuous noises</b> can damage the structure of these sensory cells. Because this damage can last for the rest of your life, you should protect your hearing. <a href="https://peda.net/oppimateriaalit/e-oppi/peruskoulut/vantaa/vkk/21-22/grades-3-6/e53e2/turvallisuus/ksl/kuulo/s#top" title="shutterstock_1395341348_p.jpg"><img src="https://peda.net/oppimateriaalit/e-oppi/peruskoulut/vantaa/vkk/21-22/grades-3-6/e53e2/turvallisuus/ksl/kuulo/s:file/photo/733700f41354892af1def1fbde927d991bc10fcb/shutterstock_1395341348_p.jpg" alt="" title="The structure of the ear." class="inline" loading="lazy"/></a><br/> <em>The structure of the ear.</em></p> 2021-08-09T08:10:08+03:00 https://peda.net/id/29ffeb9af8d 2020-08-05T10:02:36+03:00 <b><span class="right"><a href="https://peda.net/oppimateriaalit/e-oppi/peruskoulut/vantaa/vkk/21-22/grades-3-6/e53e2/turvallisuus/ksl/kuulon-suojelu/sm#top" title="shutterstock_89852995_kuulo_Biehler Michael_p.jpg"><img src="https://peda.net/oppimateriaalit/e-oppi/peruskoulut/vantaa/vkk/21-22/grades-3-6/e53e2/turvallisuus/ksl/kuulon-suojelu/sm:file/photo/3c0e2d1721f0b0827ca671719e4c60f5f69b54aa/shutterstock_89852995_kuulo_Biehler%20Michael_p.jpg" alt="" title="Protect your hearing!" class="inline" loading="lazy"/></a></span>Noise disturbances</b><br/> Loud and continuous noises damage your hearing. They can also make you irritated and unable to concentrate.<br/> <br/> <b>Harmful noise </b><br/> A noise is harmful, if you have to shout in order for others to hear you over it. Even shouting in another person's ear is harmful. Technically, all noises with a volume of over 85 decibels (dB) are harmful.<br/> <br/> <b>Protecting yourself from noise</b><br/> The best way to protect yourself from loud and harmful noises is to stay away from them altogether. Harmful can also be reduced by applying noise-damping plates and fixtures to walls and ceilings. There are also all kinds of wearable hearing protectors available. If you encounter a loud noise, you should cover your ears with your hands.<br/> <br/> <b>Woodworking</b><br/> In woodworking class, always remember to use headphones. The noise made by saws and electric machinery can often rise above 85 decibels.<br/> <br/> <b>Small machinery</b><br/> Always wear hearing protection when using loud, small machinery. Such machinery includes lawn mowers, leaf blowers and motorsaws. <br/> <br/> <b>Concert</b><br/> Always wear hearing protection in loud concert settings. <br/> <br/> <b>Headphones</b><br/> When you listen to music with headphones, make sure that the volume of the music does not get too loud. The use of headphones is more damaging to your hearing than the use of speakers. This is why you should not wear headphones all day. <br/> <br/> <a href="https://peda.net/oppimateriaalit/e-oppi/peruskoulut/vantaa/vkk/21-22/grades-3-6/e53e2/turvallisuus/ksl/kuulon-suojelu/k#top" title="kuulosuojaimet-suojalasit.jpg"><img src="https://peda.net/oppimateriaalit/e-oppi/peruskoulut/vantaa/vkk/21-22/grades-3-6/e53e2/turvallisuus/ksl/kuulon-suojelu/k:file/photo/2fdfaf3fb8aeeade49e593a2b4ed7afbe187e194/kuulosuojaimet-suojalasit.jpg" alt="" title="Hearing and vision protection are essential pieces of equipment in many professions." class="inline" loading="lazy"/></a><br/> <em>Hearing and vision protection are essential pieces of equipment in many professions.</em> 2021-08-09T08:10:08+03:00 https://peda.net/id/2a00eb6cf8d 2021-08-09T08:10:08+03:00 <dl><dt><!--filtered attribute: class="thumbnail"--><a href="https://peda.net/oppimateriaalit/e-oppi/peruskoulut/vantaa/vkk/21-22/grades-3-6/e53e2/turvallisuus/ksl/kjm/kslnohkepm#top" title="kupusuojaimet.jpg"><img src="https://peda.net/oppimateriaalit/e-oppi/peruskoulut/vantaa/vkk/21-22/grades-3-6/e53e2/turvallisuus/ksl/kjm/kslnohkepm:file/thumbnail/e5dac7c1f7914fa58ed08a8449d20c04648fe450/kupusuojaimet.jpg" alt="" title="Earmuffs are especially suitable for small children.
