Page 11 letters readers urged to protect their hearing i am a certified audiologist and would Tike to com mend you on the special article you published pertain ing to Rock stars and their hearing losses. Bravo i wish other stars would hop on the bandwagon and turn Down their output Levels at concerts. These excessive Levels do damage hearing sensitivity. This Type of hearing loss occurs Over a period of time and is greatly affected by the number and Dura Tion of repeated exposures. The problem lies in convincing people to take the necessary safeguards to protect their hearing let alone those with blasting Walkman or stereos that can be heard from blocks away. Most generally people become concerned when it is too late and the damage is done. Hearing loss due to noise exposure is permanent there is not a Pill or a surgery that can Correct the damage. Hearing aids do help but they do not restore Normal hearing. The damage affects the High frequencies or pitches first which makes it difficult to hear sounds such ass to v and f. If exposure continues without Protection More of the speech Range is lost making it difficult to understand and communicate. Along with this Type of hearing loss it is common to have tinnitus which is not a Type of deafness. It is a High pitched ringing that is a result of the hearing loss itself. At this time there is not a known cure for tinnitus although different things have been at tempted with varying results. Hopefully you arc asking How can i protect my cars from hearing loss it is very simple. First and Foremost Wear car Protection whenever you arc exposed to loud noises. Examples would be lawnmowers construction Sites concerts base flight lines an hobbies such As guns. Effective ear Protection that is comfortable can be purchased for under a Dollar. Secondly tone Down the Levels of your stereos and be particularly careful with Walkman. They arc potentially More harmful because the sound docs not travel any distance before reaching your car. This intensifies the volume level. Everyone s hearing will get poorer As they grow older so it is important that you protect your hearing now. Ear Protection is much cheaper than hearing aids. So take the precautions now when it will Benefit you the most. Carie Hornby Daniels is acc a Wilhur a West Germany writer says some things stay the same i am writing in regards to the changes and some of the things that just Don t change in the army. The modern army is now. As a whole technically oriented computerized to say the least. Weapons Are Chang ing and adapting according to the opposition s technical development. Of course we re trying to stay one step ahead depending on the budget. No doubt the Early american colonel would have a hard time digesting mentally the development that took place barely 200 years after him. However the human nature changes very Little. As this poem demonstrates at 8 . We re pulling out the general sternly said. So the colonel sent the order Down at five we leave our Well the Captain look no chances because captains never do. And so he told his top kick have the men get up at Midnight the sergeant woke us and Here we sadly sit because it now is noontime and we Haven t pulled out yet sounds All too familiar. This was written by an enlisted Soldier in world War ii t-5 car d. doubt this could have also applied to our past colonial american soldiers. Some things just Don t change. Sgt.
