very well. people constantly exposed to noise at night are at increased risk of high blood pressure atrial fibrillation strokes and heart attacks depression can be another resulting factor the scientists are now working on a drug designed to reduce the harmful effects of noise in the body. even though getting a peaceful night's sleep on a regular basis would of course be the best medicine. well i do love my headphones i have to admit and many young people are wearing headphones all over the day this is a problem. this is a problem in fact see that we have. gotten persons already showing some kind of hearing loss and this might be due to the extent to fuse off. the biases

and the consumption of music and other stuff close to the ears because we have been high level at that your drum and this will cause hearing impairment after several years is just because they just pump up the volume that it's very loud insiders and not a problem as well but have fans there 1st of all the loudness of all you is decisive factor as well as of course the duration how long. do they listen to such sounds in this loudness and so is the expression of the doe's the loudness as well as the exposure time and we have to be aware that it is very close to the ear and so we have already very loud. levels at your drum i don't see i do have to turn up the volume because when i'm sitting here in this noisy road next to me i won't hear my music on this i just pump up the volume. gauge indicates how
4:47 am
dangerous this is so we have to really to mask the environmental noise in order to hear the music or your content and this shows what kind of volume or loudness we have at that your drum so it's even much louder than usual ordinary and i'm going to laws there's an app for that. always measurements with a modern smartphone so this is an app called ear action and you can just press the button and then you can see how noisy to surround you so as it is that of any value . i think it can be very valuable for young people in order to. assess the risk of. noise assault then they can measure and get a number and can decide what side i'll buy that it's too loud so i need some recovery time for my hearing system because if you have for a solid presell level of 80 or $85.00 to be then. you know it's might be critical
4:48 am
law exposer time for my hearing system for my ears so otherwise you can just damage it yes yes and such a show the bell goes off there are noises around and then you can decide right maybe to leave me the way. you do to. anyone looking for peace and quiet has come to the wrong place a flat ground engages all the senses a sea of lights for the eyes sweet treats with a tongue and a symphony of sounds. but what does it feel like when something goes wrong. google. my name is cast and i was suddenly hit by a loss of hearing and now everything sounds much dollar but i'm slowly getting used to that i do still hear things like the clatter of the roller coaster with.

justin is now almost completely deaf in her right ear. the sudden hearing loss was probably caused by stress. to her the world now sounds . much less vibrant. she can still hear well with her left ear. but one error learned can't do the work of 2. for example she can no longer determine exactly where the sound is coming from. so we couldn't hear you on it but you need both fires to hear well that allows you to recognize sounds and also to hear where there might be a source of danger that's why it's so important to look after your ears off the
4:50 am
past. with only one it working properly spatial hearing is in pad i'm not a common problem is tenet has a constant ringing in the years. it's usually brought on by prolonged exposure to loud noise. when our hearing is simply overwhelmed we can start to hear a certain sound even if there's no real external source it's usually a kind of whistling and it's always that day and night. to stick it's a torment and there's no guarantee it will go away it's best to learn to live with it in. people suffering from tinnitus hear something they don't want to hear while those who are deaf hear nothing at all. smell impaired hearing lies somewhere between these 2 extremes and it can have many different conses.

the main causes of stress illness and excessive noise in the environment. but hearing also declines as we get older. children can hear frequencies of between 16 hertz and 20000 hertz grown ups gradually lose the very high frequencies. the more our hearing range diminishes the greater the impact on our every day life . sound frequencies are to the ear what colors are to the eye the fewer we perceive the less information we can register. saying oh it impaired hearing can affect any pitch from the low notes to the high notes such as birdsong or children's weiss's or the screeching hear in the background i said yeah. the ability to hear a wide range of sounds from low pitch too high is key to distinguishing speech from
4:52 am
background noise that becomes ever harder as the range diminishes at some point voice and noise become indistinguishable everything melts into what blur of sound. as a rule when one's hearing gets that bad the doctors can't do much to help. so we need to protect our ears as best we can. if we're plagued by persistent stress or keep tormenting our ears with nasty noise we risk losing our hearing altogether . we still in 1000000000 but somewhere less noisy so it's important to give us some rest yes definitely. we see in our studies that it is quite beneficial colleville being unsatisfaction to go to quite areas and relax there that is a very good thing also for our human hearing but also for the whole body and or
4:53 am
health and i mean this is less noisy and the place next to the street but there is still some noise coming from there you can see this people are working so that annoys me a bit but if i would see i would hear some great music it wouldn't annoy me at all if this is a typical human reaction yes i would say yes because if you think it is unnecessary it's voidable such noise then you have a very strong. emotion and strong annoyance reaction and it shows it's not the physical event itself it's the potations of it whether it's necessary or avoidable or not and this really drives also the reactions and responses when you take a look at daily life so what can you practically do to protect your ears and to get some quiet round the day ok one important thing is to go to such places
4:54 am
and relax and you can also contribute to a quite the environment by buying quite products like a quiet printer or alone more or some. things you use in you know daily life. this can really help to have a quite an environment you can benefit from it and others as well so it's not all about planes and cars and industrial noises and yes you're right it is also about noise from neighbors we see much more complains about the noise from neighbors over days that might be due. increasing noise awareness that we know about the health effects of. noise so much more critical and sensitive to such noise and if you be considerate to other people if you respect people if you buy products then you can contribute to
4:55 am
a quiet that it's not only about technical solutions for making. traffic noise it's also our behavior so in my own personal noise can be intrusive definitely yes definitely so in particular if people think it's unnecessary it's. always then people see strong reactions to it so what you could do for a quiet environment is. very quietly and. in good shape your weekly health. covers many aspects of health care could look at what's new in medical treatment nutrition fitness and beauty. we discuss these topics in depth with specialists and give you the chance to pose your own questions so do get in touch.

longer the center of attention. many remained on sunday though and how the small day after a rally at the brandenburg gate they focused on the corona skeptic message and dismissed the previous day's aggression was he a prosecutor what happened here was chaos and some small groups who wanted to take advantage of the situation and which we've who support the corona demonstration want to have nothing to do with fuck all boys and girls and. yet the far right we're confident the case in berlin at the weekends amid the rainbows and peace flags of other demonstrators and the corona skeptics didn't seem to have a problem with them being there all all this week we're looking back at this point 5 years ago hundreds of thousands of people mostly from syria escaped war and persecution our looking to the european union for refuge it was a pivotal moment for the e.u. which prides itself on open borders some member states however were closing them

putting up barbed wire fences to keep the migrants house. well all i turn to the biggest member germany it would side with the closures or. freedom of movement with 3 words on this day 5 years ago. on the usually proactive stand and change the course of european history. it was the moment that defined anger that merkel's response to the 2015 migration crisis if you missed. it was the german equivalent of this yes we care. i was there 5 years ago when desperate migrants in hungary set off on foot towards germany just hours later i'm going to marco singlehandedly decided to keep germany's borders open the scenes of an open welcoming germany went around the world. in

2015 many an angle or merkel's own c.d.u. party were against open arms policy but. then finance minister was one of them his key concern was losing control for today's speak of germany's parliament it still is. one has to prevent the impression that there is a loss of control that situation was crucial for a few months but we've mostly overcome its effects by now we need a european solution to these problems. instead of more europe national reflexes kicked in across the continent in germany of merkel's decision helped launch a populist party into parliament the far right alternative for germany co-founder alexander garland freely admits that merkel's open border policy helped propel his party to parliament. we didn't make it and we can't make it

times ahead. and we will now see a phase where jenaveve rise in unemployment will make it again more difficult to get those people to work only recently arrived here as refugees or as migrants. should really go for now though germans are more busy with corona been debating migration both have proved to be political changes while germany has undoubtedly mastered the effects of 2015 economically politically i'm going to not to let that moment repeat itself a moment that changed germany and will define her legacy. to formula one in defending champion lewis hamilton as closer to victory in the belgian grand prix to increase his lead in the overall standings britain is now just 2 wins away from
