With the vuvuzela drowning out our World Cup games hearingaidsattrade.co.uk want to make sure you keep your ears protected through the soccer fiasco.
The long, plastic trumpet-shaped vuvuzela was found to emit an ear piercing noise of 127 decibels-louder than a lawnmower (90 decibels) and a chainsaw (100 decibels). Extended exposure at just 85 decibels puts us at risk of permanent noise induced hearing lost. When subjected to 100 decibels or more, hearing damage can occur in just 15 minutes.
These world renowned popular plastic trumpets have been tested in a sound proof studio as part of Hear the World. Second most harmful to our ears was the air horn, which exposes our ears to damage inducing levels of 123.6 decibels. This was followed by the drum which reached 122 decibels.
And the referees whistle proved to be even more ear displeasing becoming the forth most harmful to our ears at 121.8 decibels.
However, the fans can be just a big of a problem. Two singing supporters reached 121.6 decibels.
Second most harmful to our ears was the air horn, which exposes our ears to damage inducing levels of 123.6 decibels. This was followed by the drum, which reached 122 decibels.
Robert Beiny, UK and European Audiologist of the Year, said, “To put it into perspective, when a sound is increased by ten decibels our ears perceive it as being twice as loud so we would consider the vuvuzela to be more than double the volume of a cowbell.”
A cowbell levels in at 114.9 decibels. Even quieter football ground paraphenalia include a wooden rattle, (108.2 decibels) and an inflatable fan-stick (99.1 decibels).
“Our ears can be exposed to damaging noise levels when in the pub surrounded by excited cheering fans, or even while at home, with people often turning the sound on their television up very loud in order to create an atmosphere when watching it from their sofa.”
