Does noise affect babies?

When a new life is born, it brings joy to the family, but also means that parents have more responsibilities. Now that family conditions are getting better and better, parents naturally hope that their children can thrive in a healthy environment. However, industrial noise is getting louder and louder, and the noise from neighbors renovating their homes often makes parents worry about whether the noise will affect their babies. What kind of impact will it have? The editor below will give you a detailed introduction.

The noise range that the human body can withstand is around 40 decibels. Exceeding this value will bring many impacts. Noise can also affect children's vision. When the noise is at 90 decibels, the sensitivity of the rod cells in the retina to distinguish light brightness begins to decline, and the time to recognize weak light is also relatively prolonged; when the noise is at 95 decibels, nearly half of the people's pupils dilate; when the noise is as high as 115 decibels, the eyes' adaptability to light is reduced to 20%.

Babies who are often in a noisy environment may have reduced eye brightness and sensitivity, dilated pupils, slower visual accommodation and eye movement, abnormal color vision and visual field, and often experience eye pain, dizziness, and decreased vision. Digestive tract symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, abdominal distension, and loss of appetite may also occur, which have a great impact on the baby's growth and development. Parents can take some isolation measures, such as soundproofing windows and doors, or staying away from noise.

The above is the editor’s opinion on whether noise has an impact on babies? The answer to this question. From the above introduction, it can be seen that short-term noise below 40 decibels will not affect babies, and parents do not need to take special measures. If the noise lasts for a long time or exceeds 40 decibels, timely measures must be taken to avoid affecting the child's examination.
