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. oh 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 several young person is already showing some kind of hearing loss and this might be due to the extensive use of. mobile eye

devices 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 cost hearing impairment after several years is that 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 allow this of all you is a decisive factor as well as of course the duration how long. do they listen to such sounds in this loudness and to the expression of the doe's the loudness as well as 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 but honestly 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 unless i just pump up the volume of the. gate indicates

how dangerous it 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 i was going to long as there's an app for that you. 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 is 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 whether it's too loud so i need some recovery time for my hearing system because if you have for a solid presell of 80 or 85 to be then. we know it's might be critical

exposer time for my hearing system for my hears so otherwise you can just damage it yes yes and such app can show. off the noise around and then you can decide where maybe to leave. me the way. you think you can. 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 for the tongue and a symphony of sounds for the ear. but what does it feel like when something goes wrong. my name is kiersten 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 rollercoaster.

kinston is now almost completely deaf in her right ear. the sudden hearing loss was probably caused by stress. to the world now sounds. much less vibrant. she can still hear well with her left ear. but one air alone can't do the work of 2. for example she can no longer determine exactly where the sound is coming from. some couldn't hear them 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

passage. with only one ear working properly spatial hearing is in pad another common problem is tenet has a constant ringing in the yes. 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. just to hear it's a torment and there's no guarantee it will go away it's best to learn to live with it and i mean once again. 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 causes. the main

causes are stress illness and excessive noise in the environment. but hearing also declines as we get older. children can hear frequencies of between 16 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 mono it's 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

background noise that becomes ever harder as the range diminishes at some point voice and noise become indistinguishable everything melts into what blare 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 tormenting our ears with nasty noise we risk losing our hearing altogether. we still in berlin but somewhere less noisy so is it important to give us some rest yes definitely. b.c. in our study said to describe beneficial full bill being one satisfaction to go to quite areas and relax there that is a very good thing also for our human hearing but also for the body and or health

and i mean this is less noisy and the place next to street at the is still some noise coming from there you can see this people are working so that annoys me a bit but if i would sing loud i would hear some great music it wouldn't annoy me at all is this is typical human reaction yes i would say yes because if you think it's 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 that whether it's necessary or water bill 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 around the day ok one important thing is to go to such places

and relax and you can also contribute to a quite the environment by buying quite product like a quite printer or alone more or some. things you use in your daily life. this can really help to have acquired 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 are right it is also about noise from neighbors we see much more complains about the noise from neighbors no days that might be due. increasing noise awareness that we know about the health effects. noise so much more critical and sensitive to such analysis and if you be considerate to other people respectful of people if you buy products then you can contribute to a quite violent it's not only

a technical solutions for making. traffic noise it's also. 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. what's new in medical treatment 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. the french. drawing is the language. and

comes. this is a deed of union dues live from berlin germany's chancellor warns that existing coronavirus restrictions may not be tough enough until america says that if the 16 regional states do not fall into line she may have to enter. stricter measures such as curfews could also feel the table also coming up world leaders condemning the bloodshed in me and the united nations accuses the regime of committing mass murder against its own people. and dozens of civilians are killed and thousands evacuated as islamist militants lay siege to tellen in mozambique close to

a vital gas projects. american tilton welcome to the program german chancellor angela merkel says regional leaders need to put an end to the chaos plaguing germany's fight against the coronavirus crisis in a virtual summit last week leaders from both state and federal governments failed to agree on decisive measures merkel says she'll be forced to take drastic action if the states don't reverse recent relaxes relaxations which has seen case numbers rise sharply. german chancellor angela merkel on wednesday had the awkward task of walking back a government's newly minted pandemic god lines for the easter break this unexpected u. turn prompted confusion added to criticism of her handling of the coronavirus crisis

but all the 2 piece i deeply regret this and would like to apologize to all german citizens. on sunday medical appeared on one of the country's most popular talk shows to make her case directly to the german people she said germany needs a turning point and criticize federal state leaders that haven't yet grasp the gravity of the situation. when the state leaders conference convenes again which is why i am not for holding an early conference it has to be clear that we have to achieve a consensus. merkel says many federal states are being too lax the small state of zoolander is experimented with easing restrictions and the leader of germany's most populous state north rhine-westphalia has a very lax interpretation of the corona guidelines. the distribution of roles and that's what i meant by turning point it's no good because we've all got the same goal i'm convinced of this and that is to guide the country through this pandemic. currently hundreds if not thousands of german vacationers are taking their easter

break in majorca while at home infections continue to rise german health experts are demanding decisive action. till now only curfews of effectively stem the spread of the b one month 7 variant in portugal ireland and england i think we also need to take this approach. in speaking as a doctor the new data shows that infections are increasing so fast that rates of 100000 which our experts predicted seem all too realistic this should be a warning to us to quickly implemented safety measures. medical shares this view and says stricter laws could be necessary possibly including obligatory tests for companies she also floated the idea that germany's lawmakers might pass new legislation faster than the conference of state leaders i intimate one possibility would be to revisit the infection protection laws and make changes on a case by case basis we're bound by law to curb the spread and currently that's not

happening all nick is the. this remains the case now as it did a week ago. for more on this i'm joined by reporter max merrill max there are calls for a hard lock down from some quarters how does merkel address that. well i think merkel is quite clearly feeling the heat and she wants a tougher line she wants a clear a faster response and after previously apologizing like we heard in the reports on wednesday she's now going on the offensive and. parts of the interview seem to exasperated at her inability to control the situation she been moaned that slow federal approach and says she doesn't want complete lockdown doesn't want curfews but these are now options that are very much on the table and she was a bit guarded on further measures saying she doesn't want coach he's helicopters flying over roads. like it was the case in portugal and germany never went into

a full lockdown like countries like spain did last year so it is difficult to to push that through but she revealed that if states don't fall into line she will consider. she will take a less federal more centralized approach and then we got a little bit more vague on what exactly she would do she said she's still considering her options but there is a clear idea now that she views the federal response of not always being the best option so we're hearing i'm going to america criticizing some state leaders has she singled out anyone in particular. yes and surprisingly so it was i mean lawsuits we heard in the report the leader of the most populous state north rhine-westphalia but also the leader of the leader of the c.d.u. and presumably at least a chancellor counts in the upcoming election i'm september and she didn't open the criticised by name at least any p.t.o. c.s.u.

coalition partners so singling out i mean lush it comes as a bit of a surprise she was also critical of her own party in another case talking about the mosque affair where members of her party were accused of corruption in the procurements of mosques so calling that outrageous and unacceptable all of this is you know leading to a somewhat unstable political situation with the upcoming september election merkel off the 16 years as chancellor won't be taking part in the election and i think so her it's now a case of really looking at a party looking at what they are doing not necessarily maybe taking into consideration that there's an election but very presently there is a pandemic and as she calls a wave and a new pandemic juice of the virus new stations to double reporter max merrill thank you international condemnation is growing of saturday's military crackdown in ian maher in which more than a 100 civilians were killed including children u.s.

president joe biden the european union and the united nations have all expressed anger over the violence calling it outrageous unacceptable and mass murder it was the country's bloodiest days since the army's seize power on february 1st. a funeral for a 13 year old boy sajjan was killed when security forces in yangon opened fire the neighbors say there were no protests in the area this just one of many funerals held the day after the armed forces day massacre when the streets of myanmar cities were stained and blood. his mother calls out to her son now gone forever can't you hear me she cries. was. sure. even though it's now clear to everyone what protesting in myanmar means people return to the streets the day after the

bloodbath determined to press their demands for a return to democracy there is no sign the military is changing tactics either and no hint of their backing down from their threat to shoot protesters in the head no one is safe and we are in you know extremely in a dangerous situation with beijing and the killing spree is going on against a city. there are fears that the situation could escalate further protesters are picking up weapons which are improvised but with the hunt to using more and more force there is concern that the civil disobedience movement may no longer remain nonviolent the. earlier d.w. spoke to the un's independent expert on human rights in myanmar tom andrews he says the international community is failing the people there have been voices speaking very loudly of condemnation and concern. that's fine as far as it goes that quite frankly i think those words are really hollow with inside of me and more everyone

i'm speaking with they want to see a focused unified international action like the secretary general is called for and i think that means in an in meaning convening immediately the united nations security count. i have this open debate on exactly what the obligations of the international community should be and let nations of the security council stand up and be counted i think there also have to be among those nations willing to take action right now a coalition effort that either has to be unified coordinated sanctions a unified coordinated arms embargo and i think we have to take and it immediately institute accountability mechanisms judicial mechanisms to hold these brutal leaders accountable for the mass atrocities that were we're seeing i think clearly we have crimes against humanity being caused and committed way to right you know it's one of our very eyes and the question right now is what the international community is willing to do about it. militants have killed dozens of civilians in

northern mozambique an armed group is holding the town of paul munder siege it is a hub for international gas projects worth some $60000000000.00 the mozambique government says hundreds of local people and foreign workers have been rescued and the french energy group total has suspended work on a huge construction project. correspondent increase was in mozambique before the latest fighting began and is following developments from cape town she sent us this update about the situation and paula. a very poor part of the country actually the poorest part of the country a lot of people be that the government is not investing and the government is not listening to them then few of them reddick allies and the security forces respond with massive force also attacking their families and people who have nothing to do with those radical people and your people the whole thing spiraled out of control and although the government has been busy over the past months that they will everything is under control it is not it's basically just been quite successful in
