Listening to loud Music
 
if you despair over the thumping soundtrack
’ ,
blasting from your teen s room you may be surprised to hear it
.
could be doing him some good
’
There s scientific proof that the greater the
’ ,
music s intensity the more pleasure it brings according to
.
research from the University of Mancherster
’ ,
It s all down to the vestibular system which is
;
responsible for balance but also carries vibration when sound
, .
waves set it off it sends a positive message to the brain Study
’
author Neil Todd believes it s a hangover from a primitive
.
acoustic sense connected to basic drives such as hunger and sex
, ’
But if the result is hearing loss surely it s not worth it?
 
Todd found that while sounds carried across a room
,
had to be louder than 90 decibels to produce the vestibular
, -
response sounds carried through mass such as the floor or
-
leaning against a speaker need only be 30 decibels to achieve
.
the same sensation
 
But watch out!
,
in reality clubs and rock gigs can
. ,
reach over 100 decibels Bradfrod and
 
expert on music and hearing loss at
,
the University London says the longer
,
you listen to loud music the more
. ’
damage you do It s considered safe to
,
listen to 85 dsb for 8 hours but if
,
this increases to 88 dsb you should
.
halve the length of time
