Silence Can Improve Health
The Better Hearing Institute says “If
any noise prevents normal conversation, it. is too loud for your
ears and can cause hearing loss”.
Many of us are aware of the serious side effects caused by extended
exposure to loud noises. More recently it has been reported that
health problems caused by noise go far beyond possible hearing
impairment. Dr. Jack Westman, professor emeritus of psychiatry
at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health,
says “Noxious levels of sound are stressful and they may
evoke a whole range of physical responses. The most common are
an increase in blood pressure and heart rate.” Noise is
also blamed for contributing to cardiovascular disease, increased
accident risk, and headaches and depression, says Westman. Sounds
register in the brain’s auditory cortex and activate the
pituitary and adrenal glands to release stress hormones. “It's
automatic,” Westroan says. “You become accustomed
to noise over time and it may not consciously bother you anymore,
but it is still activating these systems.”
SILENCE HP is designed to improve the health and wellness of salon
professionals and their clients. Silence HP dryers are virtually
noise free and do not subject the environment to noise normally
associated with other brand professional dryers.
