Hypertension and Earplugs

By MedHeadlines • Feb 18th, 2008 • Category: Heart Disease, Hypertension, Lifestyle, Prevention

A new study which was noted by D. Lars Jarup at Imperial College, London has shown that people may want to start wearing ear plugs more often. Sounds that were recorded and played back at over 35 decibels have been proven to affect the brain in such as way as to raise blood pressure even while you are sleeping. Whether it wakes you up or not, it’s going to affect your long term health and this is cause enough to think about a new set of plugs. In addition, the louder the noise was, scientists determined that there was an even greater increase in blood pressure.

In this particular study, the willing participants were outfitted with blood pressure monitors. Careful readings were taken every 15 minutes throughout the night and their bedrooms were equipped with a noise-meter to register the sounds in terms of both volume and frequency.

A similar study showed these same kind of results for daytime noise and it was proven that constant exposure to traffic noise or jet airplanes has also been shown to be especially significant in men. The risk of eventually suffering from hypertension went up 50% for men when they were exposed to these kinds of loud noises for only a few hours a day. It’s not that hard to keep a pair of earplugs in the glove compartment guys! It might cut down on the road rage a bit. As hypertension is known to increase the chances for heart attack and stroke, those ear plugs might not be such a bad idea after all.

Just noticed he is at my uni! I think I might visit him and get some free ones they used in the study.

Also nice idea sher-e-moreau but I don't think blasting kirtan is gonna help me sleep. Also I am very sensitive. I get woken up by tiny noises like the door closing, infact I am so sensitive that my alarm is my mobile vibrating!! :@

i had a roommate who was like that. omv...it was soo funny. i didnt know wht it meant to be a light sleeper until i met her lol .

thanks to my mom and her yelling when we were young.....that stuff really dont bother me much. unless im really tired or stressed/excited.. thn i cant sleep.

well lets see if someone has tried what u asking about. (yes i would try talkin to that prof at ur uni and ask for recommendations. :console:)

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
