5 Common Sounds that Will Damage Your Hearing
If you regularly use a blow dryer, or know someone who does, you might think twice before doing so in the future.
Blow dryers sound at 100 decibels, the same volume as a chainsaw, power drill and snow mobile. One hundred decibels packs a whopping punch of noise. You are flirting with danger and will damage your hearing if you expose your ears to this dB range on a regular basis.
Luckily, I have never liked blow dryers and even walk out of a hair salon in mid winter with a warm hat covering my wet hair.
In addition, when you take into account the high EMF – electromagnetic frequencies – your blow dryer emits, then, let’s just say, you might want to shelve it permanently.
So what else sounds at 100 decibels. Subway platforms for one. While waiting for your train, your ears are getting a dangerous noise bath. And, believe it or not, the underground/subway, the chainsaw, the power drill, blow dryer and snow mobile are louder than a screaming child or lawnmower. Those only clock in at 90 dB.
Consider this. Each 10 dB addition represents a Tenfold increase in sound. So 100 decibels are 10 times noisier than 90 decibels. Similar to how scientists measure earthquakes on the Richter scale.
Try to stay away from harmful, high decibel noises whenever you can. You’ll protect your precious hearing and preserve your ears for life.
