Floors vibrating under my feet… I am tidying up my living room when I begin to feel movement under my feet. In time with the movement below I begin to experi- ence sound vibrations into my ears. Boom, boom, boom, whish…the white car sped by toward the east. Could this have been an earth- quake? Not likely as this has hap- pened several times as the white car has whipped up the street many days in the month. The vibrations from the white car are not really stimulating it is more like irritating, especially if one is napping on the living room sofa. As I began to analyze the happening, I decided this car belonged either to a very young person or to an elderly person dri- ving by who listened only to severely loud music due to deaf- ness. The deafness which no doubt began with the loud, loud, loud vibrating music. I recall when the elders in fami- lies admonished children that unless they turned the music down they would go deaf. Some of the kids would say they had ringing in their ears even two days after they had listened to very loud music. Do today's older children not know that sound travels through the air as vibrations? Vibrations travel down the ear canal, through the eardrum, into the middle ear where the vibrations are registered as sounds. The lining in the inner ear are tiny, sensitive hairs. Those sensitive hairs shimmy like kids attending a loud, loud concert. Mind-numbing loud noises at a high frequency can damage or even kill these tiny hairs and lead to hearing loss. Interestingly, it is especially scary that no pain accompanies hear- ing loss, so there is no warning signal from the body that can alert one to the damage done by the vibrations. Vibrations above the 80-90 decibel range can cause some hearing deficit. A per- son even listening to a Walkman at 110 decibels is at risk of hearing damage. Imagine what happens when the decibel level exceeds 120. The Sight & Hearing Associ- ation of the United States Occupa- tional Safety and Health Adminis- tration has worked up a list of nois- es, their decibel levels, and how long you can put up with them without ear protection. Traffic noise, lawn mower; 90 decibels, 8 hours. Motorcycle, power saw; 95 decibels, 4 hours. Chain saw, train horn; 100 deci- bels, 2 hours. Helicopter, jackham- Carolyn Barber mer; 105 decibels, 1 hour. Snowmobile from the back; 110 decibels, 30 minutes. Jet skis, cry- ing baby; 115 decibels, 15 minutes. Rock concert, sand blast- ing 120 decibels, less than 15 minutes. There doesn't seem to be a calculation of deci- bels referring to those of us who are experiencing the vibrations and excep- tionally loud music ema- nating from the infamous white car that visits our neighbored on a daily basis. If we get too used to the vibrations we may not be able to identify the coming of an earth quake or a volcanic eruption. All I can say is: "hey listen to your mother and turn down that noise." Oh yes, you may have experienced too many deci- bels to even hear your poor moth- er's request. Oh by the way, listening to loud music causes deafness, the damage to ears is permanent: there is no cure for tinnitus. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992.
