00:02 Exercise and hearing loss may go hand in hand.
00:06 When I walk in our local gym, nearly everyone has an MP3 00:11 or I-Pod, attached to their arm or hip with a set of 00:15 headphones on pumping out the music that helps to motivate 00:19 and organize their workout. 00:20 Music is a powerful motivator and an excellent way to 00:24 regulate heart rate and energy levels, 00:27 but it may lead to hearing loss. 00:29 According to a study at the University of Newell's School of 00:33 Medicine during aerobic exercise, your body pumps blood 00:38 and oxyen into your arms and legs 00:40 leaving the delicate linings of your ears dangerously 00:44 unprotected. 00:45 Headphones, which transmit primarily low frequency sounds 00:49 can contribut to dullness of hearing, ringing in the ears 00:53 and eventually deafness. 00:56 So, if you plan to be working out to music, 00:59 you might consider pulling off those headphones 01:02 and using speakers instead. 01:05 Or at least, turn down the volume. 01:08 I'm Jennifer LaMountain reminding you, 01:10 that God has created each one of us with a musical mind. |
