Is there a risk of heart attack from the sound of the DJ?
Health experts say our ears have a direct connection to the heart. This means that any sound that reaches the ear also reaches the heart through the nerves. When the sound of the DJ continually reaches the ears, the heart rate increases, which can increase stress, anxiety and fear. In this condition, the blood in the veins of the ear starts to thicken and if this lasts for a long time, it can lead to a heart attack. According to the American Physicians of New Jersey report, the risk of heart attack is higher in people living in very noisy areas. For example, the risk of heart attack increases by 72% in airport areas. Children, the elderly or people suffering from illnesses are most exposed to noise.
How dangerous is noise to health?
Sound intensity is measured in decibels (DB). According to the Hearing Health Foundation, sound of 70 decibels or less is safe for us. Being exposed to louder noise can be dangerous. According to experts, the sound of music devices, headphones and earphones used today is only 75-80 decibels at a volume level of 60%, and reaches up to 110 decibels at full volume. If a person is exposed to noise above 85 decibels every day for more than 8 hours, their hearing capacity may be reduced.
