A music teacher used a <a href="https://wonderda.com/6757120222.html">noise measurement</a> app to measure noise during ensemble rehearsals. Data showed peak levels exceeded safe thresholds. He restructured schedules, repositioned students, and added acoustic treatment. Annual hearing screenings showed no deterioration. #MusicEducation #HearingHealth

Boosting Your Mood May Boost Your Ear Ringing. Serotonin, the neurotransmitter targeted by many antidepressants, and medications that boost it may actually amplify tinnitus. References on my website. #Tinnitus #HearingHealth #BrainHealth #DepressionResearch #MedicalNews

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Boosting Your Mood May Boost Your Ear Ringing According to new peer-reviewed research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, Chinese scientists report that serotonin, the neurotransmitter targeted by many antidepressants, may actually amplify tinnitus. In their study, otolaryngology and hearing researchers show that a specific serotonin-driven brain circuit is connected directly to the auditory system. Using advanced light-based brain stimulation in mice, they find that increasing serotonin activity triggers tinnitus-like behaviors. When they turn that circuit off, the tinnitus-like effects become significantly weaker. This study confirms observations by some patients that tinnitus seems to worsen while taking SSRIs. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors are a common class of antidepressants used to treat depression and anxiety. They include Zoloft, Lexapro, Prozac, Celexa, and Paxil. This research may help explain why they might trigger ear ringing. The researchers stress that people should not stop prescribed medications on their own. As always, you should work with your medical team to balance mental health benefits with any potential impact on your tinnitus symptoms.

International Noise Awareness Day – INAD

Ogni anno, l’International Noise Awareness Day (INAD) ci ricorda quanto il rumore influenzi la nostra salute, il nostro benessere e persino la nostra capacità di concentrarci. Nel 2026 la ricorrenza torna con nuove iniziative globali e un’attenzione ancora più forte sull’impatto del rumore nelle città moderne. Per chi vuole ripercorrere le origini della Giornata, qui trovi l’articolo completo:

Giornata Internazionale della Consapevolezza sul Rumore

Cosa c’è di nuovo nel 2026

• Focus sul “rumore invisibile” Quest’anno INAD punta i riflettori non solo sui decibel, ma anche sulle forme di rumore meno percepite: vibrazioni, bassi continui, rumori digitali e notifiche costanti che influenzano il nostro sistema nervoso.
• Campagna “One Minute of Quiet” Lanciata in oltre 40 Paesi, invita cittadini, scuole e uffici a fermarsi per un minuto di silenzio sincronizzato. L’obiettivo è far percepire quanto il rumore sia diventato la nostra “normalità”.
• Nuovi dati OMS 2026 Secondo le stime aggiornate, l’esposizione prolungata al rumore urbano aumenta del 23% il rischio di disturbi del sonno e del 15% quello di stress cronico. Numeri che rendono la sensibilizzazione ancora più urgente.
• Città italiane più attive Milano, Bologna e Bari partecipano con laboratori, misurazioni sonore in tempo reale e percorsi “soundwalk” per scoprire come cambia la percezione del rumore nei diversi quartieri.
• Tecnologia e soluzioni smart Il 2026 vede crescere l’uso di sensori acustici intelligenti per monitorare il rumore urbano e creare mappe sonore più precise, utili per la pianificazione urbana e la tutela della salute.

Perché celebrarla

INAD è una giornata simbolica che fa ripensare il nostro rapporto con il suono, a proteggere l’udito e a riscoprire il valore del silenzio come forma di benessere quotidiano.

Update about my deafness, and it isn't good news.

I added my thoughts plus my recent audiogram to the top of my high frequency hearing loss piece from 2024, after my updated hearing test last weekend.

Did you know? Nearly 10% of people with severe vision impairment also experience hearing loss. This dual sensory challenge can impact communication, but with the right assistive tech, independence is still within reach! #VisionAndHearing #AssistiveTech #IndependenceMatters #EyeHealth #HearingHealth

The first sounds we hear shape how we connect.
Research shows that premature babies who hear their mother’s voice early on build stronger pathways for hearing and language. Early access to sound can change a lifetime of communication.

Mom’s voice boosts language-center development in preemies’ brains, study finds

Premature babies who heard recordings of their mothers reading to them had more mature white matter in a key language area of the brain, a Stanford Medicine-led study found.
