2007-Aug-26 - Exposure To Loud Noise Can Lead To Premature Death |
A startling new report just released by the World Health Organisation warns that continual exposure to excessive loud noises such as traffic noise or night-time noise can result in premature death due to heart disease.
This follows an extensive study they undertook in Europe and the UK which found that up to 3% of deaths from heart disease deaths were as a result of exposure to chronic excessive exposure to noise. This has enormous implications for tinnitus sufferers and confirms the findings Ellen Currie reported in her recent book Living Tinnitus Free.
The study found that it is the increased levels of stress hormones in the body due to the exposure to noise that is responsible for strokes and the premature deaths.
