Hearing losses in particular occupations such as boil

24、er-making and construction work are well known. In fact, however, we all find hearing more difficult as we age. Young ears can distinguish a wide range of sounds from low to very high frequencies, while older ears lose the ability to distinguish high-pitched sounds. A comparison of some industrializ

25、ed versus non-industrialized peoples suggests that this hearing loss may not be the must-be result of old age. Furthermore, a closer examination of other data reveals economic effects. For instance, airports are currently operating at less capacity because of noise regulations which restrict their h

26、ours of operation. Job performance can be seriously affected by loud noise, especially if accuracy and mental effort are involved. The use of outdoor areas for conversation is not possible for an estimated 5 to 10 million people who live or work in urban areas. When interference with television or s

27、peech or sleep is included, as many as 22 to 44 million people can be said to have lost part of the use of their homes and grounds because of noise.

31、not give speech to others25.

32、te the fun seekers theyve been supposed to be.
