National Hearing Day: Bruitparif gathers 10 partners for 280 students
Bruitparif - 07/03/2011
For National Hearing Day, on next March 10th, 10 Ile-de-France high schools have accepted Bruitparif’s invitation to take part in an awareness afternoon around the quality of the sound environment and the hearing risks related to amplified music. This afternoon at the Paris CIDJ (Youth Information and Documentation Centre) will be aimed at high school students and their teachers in order to better understand the sound environment, to learn how to protect themselves from noise at work and during their hobbies and to adopt civic behaviours.
On the agenda, several workshops:
• Understand how your ear works. A virtual tour of the ear to better understand the journey of the sound and the consequences of noise on the body.
• Perform experiments related to the physics of sound. A pedagogical workshop to witness the main physical phenomena that come into play in the creation, transmission and perception of the sound.
• Discover the sound environment. What are the different noise sources in the environment? What sound level are you exposed to in daily life? How to measure noise?
• Protect yourself against noise. What are the risky situations? How to preserve your hearing capital at work and during your hobbies?
• Control your decibel dose. A workshop to find out the real sound volume of your MP3 player and get personalised advice to keep enjoying music without any risk.
• Screen your hearing. A short questionnaire will assess who is in a risky situation so that they can get a screening test.
• Adopt civic behaviours. Motorbikes, café terraces… how to contribute to a more peaceful sound environment?
And also the possibility to calculate your daily noise dose, a contest and an exhibition on all the states of sound.
In partnership with National Hearing Day, the Ile-de-France Region, the City of Paris, Inserm, the association of Paris ENT doctors, France Acouphènes, Audissimo, JLH / lesoreilles.com, Envvea and the CIDJ.
