Many parents, fearing for the health of their crumbs, prohibit them from listening to loud music, clean sound on your TV or computer. We all know the harm of headphones, but few people know that deafness may develop even from educational toys, equipped with sharp horns. How to choose the right gift for the New Year to go to sleep peacefully, and loud children's toys which in any case is not worth buying?
In the study, researchers from the University of California, the United States analyzed the 10 most popular loud toys and came to a disappointing conclusion that many of them simply can not be sold, because these products are made noise decibels equal to sensations from a trip on the subway.
Top 3 most dangerous high-profile toy looks like this:
1. Fire engines
2. Superschit Captain America (producer of Marvel)
3. Cannon Green Lantern.
"When used properly, these products are safe for children, - says professor of otolaryngology Hamid Daylilian - but because the child does not always listen to the advice of adults, and he will want to bring rustling the product closer to his face."
Toys, loud noise, tested by scientists at a distance of 12 inches from the speaker (this is the average length of the child's hands). At such a distance from the hearing holes they are safe. But if the children are very sensitive to loud noises or toddler toy brings to his ear, it can easily lose your hearing, and so far in this case, the medicine can not help.
According to the Center for prevention and control of diseases, exposure to sounds at 85 decibels is already harmful for small ears, and the higher the noise level, the more likely that eventually the child will be deaf. The longer the noise exposure, the worse, because irreparable damage is done faster.
