Blootstelling aan harde geraas lei tot permanente gehoorskade, daarom is dit noodsaaklik om jou ore teen geraas te beskerm.
Geraas is skadelik vir jou gehoorsintuig wanneer...
• Jy moet skreeu om jouself hoorbaar te maak bo die geraas
• Die geraas jou ore seermaak
• Die geraas jou ore laat sing/suis/tuit
• Jy effens ‘doof’ is na ‘n tydperk van blootstelling aan geraas
Hoe harder die klank, hoe korter mag jy daaraan blootgestel word. Gebruik hierdie termometer om vas te stel of 'n klank skadelik vir jou kan wees :

Dit is vandag Wereld Gehoorbewustheidsdag. Lees asb hier onder hoe jy jou en jou kind se gehoor kan oppas :

‘n Maklike vergelyking vir luisterveiligheid volgens WHO (Wereldgesondheidsorganisasie) is die volgende :
Asemhaling = 10dB Toegelate blootstelling is onbeperk 😊
Normale spraak = 60dB Toegelate blootstelling is onbeperk 😊
Deurklokkie, stofsuier = 80 dB Toegelate blootstelling = Slegs 40 uur p/week
Swaar verkeer (binne motor) 85 dB - Slegs blootstelling van 12h30min p/week toegelaat
Harde geskree = 90 dB Slegs 4 ure per week word toegelaat
Harde geskree teen die oor = 110dB – Slegs 2.5 min per week toegelaat
Motorfiets = 95dB Slegs 1uur 15 min per week toegelaat
Haardroeër 100dB – Slegs 20 min per week toegelaat !
To**er van 5m af – 105dB – Slegs 8 min toegelaat p/week
Sirene 120 dB – Slegs 12 sekondes toegelaat p/week
Jackhammer = 130 Meer as 1 sekonde bring reeds gehoorskade
Vliegtuig wat opstyg (werkers buite) = 140dB 0 sekondes sonder beskerming
Vuurwerke en geweerskote !!! 150dB !!! – 0 sekonders toegelaat sonder gehoorbeskerming !

Die tydperk van toegelate blootstelling aan geraas, verminder namate die dB van die klank verhoog. Gehoorbeskerming kan gehoorverlies en tinnitus (Suising in die ore) voorkom ! 2 ure blootstelling aan harde musiek in 'n konsert verouder jou ore met 20 jaar... is dit die plesier werd ?
