Does noise affect the fetus?

Noise is defined as the sound that affects people’s normal life, study, work and interference with the sound people want to hear.

I’m sure you all know the harm that noise can cause. In addition to the most significant harm to our hearing organs and affect our hearing, noise can also affect other systems of our body, such as nervous system, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, digestive organ, etc.

Generally speaking, the sound above 85 decibels will cause damage to hair cells in our cochlea, 100 decibels are the sound of tractors, 110 decibels are the sound produced when the electric saw works, 120 decibels will cause temporary deafness after one minute in such environment, 139 decibels are the sound of the World Cup ball curtain, 140 decibels are the sound that causes complete hearing damage as defined by the European Union At the highest critical point, 190 decibels can cause death. Although there is no 190 decibels sound in nature at present, the author has seen in a science magazine that sometimes the ocean can make more than 190 decibels sound in a certain situation. Although it is not true or false, it is worth exploring.

Well, I’ve talked so much about it. Back to the point, does noise affect the fetus?

The answer is yes. Some studies have shown that the IQ level of children born when pregnant women are exposed to strong noise during pregnancy is lower than that of children born under the same conditions but not exposed to noise. The noise here refers to more than 95 decibels.

In addition, if the baby is exposed to more than 100 decibels of noise during pregnancy, it is likely that the baby will have hearing loss, because the noise has an impact on the development of the baby’s hearing organ.

So how do we prevent noise?

Many people think that the noise heard by babies is transmitted by the mother’s hearing organs, and then recommend that they use earplugs to protect their hearing. In fact, it is only the mother’s hearing that is protected, but the baby’s hearing still does not play a protective role.

For the children in the fetus, the noise they receive is transmitted through the mother’s abdomen. Although it is protected by uterus, amniotic fluid and other organs, the effect is not as good as you think. At the same time, we need to pay attention to that when we teach the fetus, too much sound will lead to hearing loss of the fetus.

So how do we protect the fetal hearing?

You expectant mothers must not listen to any prescription, take any herbal medicine, health care products, ear health pills and other things that can protect the hearing and so on. Don’t believe these things. After eating, nothing will be good. In case of eating problems, both of them will ask questions at once. You say it’s not a loss.

The best way or principle is to eliminate the noise source from the source. As long as there is no contact with the noise, where do these problems come from?
