Тоpic: Hearing Loss Finally, I will give you some advice on how to protect yourself from noise-induced hearing loss. 3. You are speaking to members of local 795 of the United Auto Workers composed of 50 men and 70 women. The workers work for the Steering and Axle plant located in Livonia, MI. The economic status of the workers is middle-class, with a salary range of $30,000 to $50,000. The group was formed to discuss any issue that involves job security and work ethics. The educational level ranges from one year in college, to college graduate. Audience: Even though noise-induced bearing loss can be easily prevented, it is the mumber one Canse of deafness for people of all ages. П. A. Noise-induced hearing loss can be experienced in two different ways. 1. The first type of noise-induced hearing loss is called temporary threshold shift (TTS). General Purpose: To persuade Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience that hearing is very valuable and if some precautions are not taken then it may be lost forever In a 1993 article from.American Fanily Physician, Babadori and Bobue explained that TTS is caused by listening to a moderate level of noise for a short period of time. a. Thesis: Even though noise-induced hearing loss can be easily prevented, it is the number one cause of deafness for people of all ages. b. Two main symptoms of TTS include ringing in the ears and mispercention of sound I. Introduction Bahadori and Bohne (1993) stated that this type of noise-induced hearing loss can be reversible if it is detected in time. C. Huh? What? What is that you say? I didn't quite hear Attention Getter yan. Can you repeat that? These are phrases or expressions that you expect to hear from your grandparents, but if you are not careful you too might be uttering these words. A. According to Nassar from an article in the British Journal of Audiology in 2001, TTS can result from varying sources of noise, for example, spending sixty minutes in an aerobics class. d. Reason to Listen: important to kmow the steps you can take to prevent it. В. Noise-induced hearing loss can affect all people, and it is 2. The second type of noise-induced hearing loss is a permanent threshold shift (PTS). C. Thesis Statement: Even though noise-induced hearing loss can be easily precented, it is the number one cause of deafness for people of all ages. Bobadori and Bohne (1993) explained that PTS is caused hy exposure of loud sounds for either a long or short period of time. a. D. Credibility Statement: b. Acoustic trauma is a very brief exposure to a loud noise and is a common cause of PTS. 1. I have done research in the library on the topic of hearing loss. There is a very slim chance of regaining normal hearing range from this type of loss. C. 2. I have dedicated my college studies to the field of audiology. E. Preview of Main Points: Transition: I have just informed you on the two different ways you can acquire noise-induced hearing loss, now let us take a look at the decibel scale.
Extracted text: Indiustrial Distribuztion, using ear plugs may also reduce initability, fatigue, and stress on jobs with frequent exposure to Noise-induced hearing loss can be best understood in terms of the decihel scale. noise. 1. The decibel scale is a measurement of intensity. 3. It is important to educate yourself In their book Spesch Science Primer from 1994, Barden, Harris, a. & a. Know the waming signs of noise-induced hearing loss. Raphael explained that intensity is defined by how louda sound is. b. Be aware of how different sounds measure on the decībel scale. b. The increments on the scale are in logarithmic steps with a range from 0-130. II. Conclusion A. Review of Main Points: Kalb stated in Newsweek from 1997 that any sound that measimes oer 85 decibels is dangerous to hearing C. 1. Today I first described the two major ways noise-induced hearing loaa accurs. 2. The decibel scale shows the intensity of some common sounds. Kalb (1997) reported that a rock concert measures 120 db, with 130 dh being classified as painful. a. 2. Second, I showed you how the decibel scale works. Finally, I gave you some advice on how to protect yourself from noise- induced hearing loss. 3. b. Something so common as a lawn-mower measures 90 db. Restate Thesis: prevented, it is the number one cause of deafness for people of all ages. Transition: Understanding how sounds measure on the decībel scale will now help you decide В. Even though noise-induced bearing loss can be easily which method of protection you will need to take to defend yourself against noise- induced hearing loss. C. Closure: rememher to take along your ear plugs because you would not want it to be your The next time you are jammin' out at a concert, please C. Noise-induced hearing loss can be eliminated by self-prevention. last! 1. Try to reduce noise in the public area. Bahadori and Bobne (1993) recognized that reducing noise is very difficult for the general public as a whole. a. b. They suggested that each individual should try to be considerate to the public. 2. Wear ear plugs if the sound is unavoidable. a. Ear plugs are very inexpensive. b. Bahadori and Bobne (1993) stated acknowledged that ear plugs can decrease the decibel measurement by 25 db. References Furthermore, according to Denniston in a 2000 article from C. B.
