Noise Exposure and How to Protect Yourself!!!

Noise Exposure refers to being around loud sounds or noises for extended periods of time. These sounds can come from various sources, such as machinery, traffic, loud music or industrial work environments.

The effects of prolonged noise exposure can range from temporary discomfort, like ringing in the ears (tinnitus), to permanent hearing damage. High noise levels can damage the sensitive cells in the inner ear, leading to noise induced hearing loss. Over time, exposure to loud noises can result in difficult hearing certain frequencies, and in severe cases, complete deafness.

The risk increases with both the intensity of the noise and the duration of exposure. Noise exposure can also contribute to increased stress, sleep disturbances, and even heart problems in some individuals. Therefore, it's important to limit exposure to harmful noise levels and use hearing protection when necessary.

ඔබේ ශ්‍රවණාධාරක උපකරණයේ බැටරිය නිසි ලෙස භාවිත කරනවාද?

ඔබ භාවිතා කරන්නේ භාවිතයෙන් පසු ඉවතලන බැටරි සහිත ශ්‍රවණාධාරක උපකරණයක් නම්.....

- ඔබේ උපකරණයට ගැලපෙන බැටරි ප්‍රමාණය (size) පිලිබදව දැනුවත් වන්න ( 10, 13, 312 සහ 675 ලෙස ප්‍රමාණ 4ක් ඇත) ඔබට එම බැටරි කාර්ඩ් එකේ හෝ ස්ටිකර් කොළයේ පැහැය මගින්ද නිවැරදි ප්‍රමාණය ලබාගත හැකිය (ජාත්‍යන්තර සම්මත වර්ණයකට අනුව බැටරි කර්ඩ් සහ ස්ටිකර් වර්ණය යොදා ඇත).

- බැටරි 6 කින් යුතු බහාලුම හෝ තනි බැටරිය ගන්නා සෑම විටම එහි කල් ඉකුත්වීමේ දිනය පරීක්ෂා කිරීමට මතක තබා ගන්න.

— භාවිතයට ගන්නා තුරු බැටරියේ ඇති ස්ටිකර් එක (+ අග්‍රයේ) ඉවත් නොකරන්න.

- බැටරියේ ස්ටික එක ගලවා එය ශ්‍රවණ උපකරණයට දැමීමට පෙර තප්පර 60ක්/ මිනිත්තුවක් පමණ කාලයක් ඉවතින් තබා උපකරණයට දමන්න. (බැටරිය ක්‍රියාත්මක වීමට මද වේලාවක් ගතවන බැවින් එසේ කල යුතු වේ).

- ශ්‍රවණාධාරක උපකරණය භාවිතා නොකරන සෑම විටම බැටරි ද්වාරය (battery door) විවෘත කර තබන්න.

- සෑම රාත්‍රීයකම (උපකරනය භාවිතා නොකර පවතින සෑම දිගු කාලසීමාවකම) බැටරිය උපකරණයෙන් ඉවත් කර තබන්න.

- බැටරියක් භාවිතා කළ හැකි කාලය බැටරි ප්‍රමාණය සහ භාවිතා කරන කාලය මත වෙනස් වන බැවින් නිසි කලට බැටරිය මාරු කල යුතුයි (බොහොමයක් නවීන ශ්‍රවණාධාරකයන්හී බැටරිය ආරෝපණය අඩු වන විට විශේෂ ශ්‍රබ්ධ සංඥාවක් නිකුත්වීම සිදු කරයි).

— බැටරිය වියළි පරිසරයක් තුළ ඉක්මනින් බැසිමට නැඹුරුතාවයක් දක්වන බැවින් ඔබේ උපකරනය වියලන බහාලුම (dry kit) තුළ කිසිවිටක දමා නොතබන්න.

- අධික උෂ්ණත්වයට, කුඩා දරුවන්ට හෝ සුරතල් සතුන්ට හසුවන ලෙස බැටරි නොතබන්න.

- බැටරි උතුරායාමකට උපකරණය ලක්වූ විටකදී හැකි ඉක්මනින් තාක්ෂණික උපදෙස් ලබා ගන්න.
