Isolation and dementia - Why we should protect our ears | DW Documentary

- If you’re young, you don’t usually do enough to protect your hearing. But more than a billion youngsters are at risk of hearing loss worldwide. People often turn to assistive devices when it’s already too late. Hearing loss can result in isolation and accelerate the onset of dementia.
Traffic noise, aeroplanes taking off, music turned up to full volume. At concerts and parties, noise levels often exceed the pain threshold of 120 decibels. This can lead to noise-induced hearing loss - damage to the ears that can’t be cured. Age-related hearing loss is different: in this case, hearing aids can help. The first signs often appear in people when they reach their mid-40s. Those affected can no longer hear high frequencies and have trouble following conversations in a noisy environment. This may mean that people withdraw socially.
Hearing aids filter out background noise such as traffic or wind, suppress reverberation and amplify speech - all depending on the listening environment. Nowadays, the necessary technology fits into tiny casings. However, there’s still one disadvantage to all these hearing systems: the loudspeakers close the ear canal, which leads to sound loss as well as potential inflammation. With the "hearing contact lens", on the other hand, the loudspeaker sits directly on the eardrum and stimulates it directly. The start-up company Vibrosonic says that as a result, the sound is clearer and stronger. Could this be a viable alternative to traditional hearing aids?
We introduce young people suffering from hearing loss as a result of listening to music too loudly for too long, look at everyday situations that put extreme strain on our hearing and present new solutions from the hearing aid industry.

This documentary got me so spooked that I have decided to watch the rest of it on mute.

That's what captions are for.
A world without DW is boring. Thanks for helping me in learning English while I'm enjoying your exciting stories and documentaries honestly you made the learning easier. Thanks to you I got My IELTS exam and made it to Canada. Big heart
Thank you for watching! We’re very glad to hear that, congrats!
Also using DW to learn some english❤👏 thank you DW
I appreciate all the work that is done for the people with impaired hearing, but more work needs to be done in mitigating noise pollution and other causes of hearing loss. Good documentary as usual, DW
Thanks for watching!
I completely agree! As for many other diseases as well!
DW Documentary does a fantastic job. It's like studying plenty of global subjects for free. Worth to watch according to the time we spend on TH-cam ❤🎉
Strongly agree.
Maybe if you like propaganda
Thanks a lot for watching and for your positive feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to comment and

Thank you to everyone who is contributing towards a better future for these people. The advances in science and technology fascinates me. I hope one day tinnitus will be something that will be able to be cured or healed. I value silence so much and have never thought about how much I took it for granted until it was to late. I think the health of our hearing is just as important as everything else therefore should be taken as seriously as everything else. This brings me joy and hope. Thank you DW for educating us and teaching us this knowledge. I truly do appreciate it.
Noice and disturbing sounds must be the reason why office landscapes are so popular. You get so sharp and creative in such envorionment, no stress, all joy!
lol!
This was a great documentary on so many levels. It helped us understand the risks to ear health even among the younger. It educates about what those with hearing loss experience socially. And it was inspiring to see the incredible research of medical experts, scientists and technicians. Thank you again DW for great reporting.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Am struggling coping with noise for a long time .If I could I would move out into the forest away from people.
I did, sold out and bought on a forest reserve.

I lowered my volume after clicking on this video 😅
Certainly a good precautionary mini documentary... I freaked and turned the volume down on my ear buds! Really appreciate this channel and all of the great topics ♡ it's also enjoyable to see the innovation that is being used to tackle these types of issues!
Documentary no doubt goes beyond. Thanks for a lovely education.
Thanks for watching!
A noisy documentary on noise. At various points i had to hit mute.
Most valuable and knowledge thing that I found on u tube is DW documentary, it is 💯... Really worthful...
DW are the best, thanks for that informative documentary.
Thank you for your comment!
Thank you DW, every time great documentaries.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
I suffer from noise, terribly painful. Could we teach our children to quiet down, instead of screaming all the time?
Not the children, the classroom instead outside in nature. These brick/concrete rooms reflects (compresses sound to higher levels) that is the real problem. naturally we love loud sounds of short peaks and long pauses like music :)
@@robfontijn1406 In general, there is too much noise, especially when alot is going on. My parents always curbed our noise as children. We make excuses for them. No need for yelling I would say to mine, I am not deaf.
@@robfontijn1406 you can, and should, definitely tell children not to scream and shriek. It's called learning to be considerate of others.
We were not allowed to just scream like banshees. We were taught that many people around us are ill. You're upsetting animals, et al. Kids don't need to scream like that to enjoy themselves. Ridiculous!
Great documentary as always,Thank You DW✌🏽!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Highly recommend documentary to watch
DW, I love your movies so much. Thank a lot.
26:00 Can’t hear 16KHz but can hear 19KHz very well
Make an appointment with an ENT doctor ASAP 😂
I think they forgot to include the sound for 16KHz. This was the only one i couldn't hear, also.
I searched for a website and was able to hear the 16KHz very loudly
Excellent documentaries
I can't hear 16000 hz, but I can 19000
Yes it is the same for me. I think they did not used 19000Hz but some lower frequency maybe 14000Hz at the limit of my hearing.
Me too, and i'm 37
@@AquaTofana. Maybe is some sort of artifact due to TH-cam encoding of the original source. I'm 47
@@electrodacus it's rather that, than us hearing 19000 at our age 😂😂
How do you measure it ?
Extremely useful video explaining everything about Sound,Noise, Hearing, Hearing loss, remedies and why we should protect our hearing ❤
Thank you for your comment!
A BIG THANKS to DW Channel
A really great documentary, I learned a lot about the new technologies in restoring hearing, which are all really exciting and promising.
Why are hearing aids SOOOO expensive? I mean they are about 2,300 euro for a low end pair, and they only work well for about 3 to 4 years.
I live alone, avoid concerts and all mass human activity in general. I should be good.👌
This is an excellent video.
Great documentary.
We often forgot that in the information/digital age, visual information is not the only way to be overloaded. All this easily accessible entertainment like music is problematic.
I'm optimistic about the future, I have a feeling awareness of information overload will drastically higher than now.
Go for a walk in the Forrest, now and then to cleanse media stimulation overload.... Hopefully my suggestion was on your mental wave-length.....

@@finalboss7956 it's really just a request to make engagement with viewers and the content is a bit more frictionless. Nothing that can be considered rude.
Content is primarily in English, stands to reason many engaging in the comments speak the language. As such, if commentor is able to express themselves in English, it's just preferable they do so. And yes, I know about CC and TH-cam's translation features.
Weird, I heard the 19k Hz tone but not the 16k Hz one.
I began using cheap, spongy earplugs from the pharmacy. It was 30 for $10 I think. They help me sleep and maintain some sanity when traveling. They let me frequent rock venues and play my own music too. You learn to hear THROUGH them nonetheless, it raises your visual awareness. Mack's Earplugs are the best. But whatever you find, reuse and horde them for later.
Great connection you've made! A few years back when I was getting pretty stressed and whatnot, I came to a realization one day that I was so over focused on my visual awareness and what's in front of me, that I noticed how much had stopped taking attention to my sense of hearing. Which therefor made me focus on my ears more, correcting my posture, and slowing down my pace and stress levels, due to hearing my inner monologue more clearly!
wax ones are far better than sponge
The content is very good
DW makes documenatry about how harmfull noise can be. Proceeds to demonstrate every harmfull noise at length and loud.
Yea, ouch!
I'm getting a lot out of this channel. Thank you all so much!
Thanks for watching!
thatz why I don’t club or use headphones allmost never, silence is better for mind and soul
Very valuable . And I realized value of appreciating and being greatful to ourlives and see the good things we already have that we are not much considering like our good health , eye sight , hearing , speaking and moving abilities . In away these are the most and greatest profit in our lives than any other thing like lotof money, fame and power. So lets be greatful everyday for what we already have without being too late .
Thanks
DW, can you please do some quality documentary about TINNITUS, "ringing in the ears."? Millions and millions of people are quietly suffering from that, in many cases untreatable health condition. Is there some serious scientific research going on right now? If any? Thank you.
I always thought that my hearing loss was due to loud music and popping my ears when flying. An ENT doctor told me it was from ear infections through out my years. I’m thinking now he didn’t have a clue! 🤦🏽♀️
It is an eye opening for new technologies in horizon....but still there is a dilemna...hearing loss with aging... don't blame on noise pollution because there are something else associated with aging that still eludes us..
As people live longer, this will be a challenge to medicine and technologies to overcome it so millions of seniors can enjoy their times remaining on earth.
Great 👍🏻
is this not an advert for hearing aids disguised as a documentary?
It never surprises me that when I meet a woman who works with children yet never wants to have any of her own. I understand completely.
Yup
isn't it based to judge from working with only a certain range of age? Would give you a perspective that they'll be like that their whole life, which some are, but most arent
its like how cooks never want to cook decent food for themselves once they're off work. I could never understand, should be the other way around if you ask me
I'm trying to become a midlife mum. I don't know any children. In fact, I have no idea if I even LIKE children. I figure that I'll only have to like and love my own child.
Is it possible to have vertigo without hearing loss.
There are exercises to eliminate vertigo. I’ve done these exercises and it took care of the vertigo. Seems to me hearing aids don’t improve your vertigo. Check out the video by Carol Foster MD. Her video shows the exercise needed to stabilize the crystals in your ear tubes. It worked for me. Anybody who has suffered from vertigo and use these exercise well benefit and wonder why they did not find out sooner.
Yes bvvp I think it’s called
A strange thing about vertigo is, if you stand right next to a tall building and look up, do you feel vertigo?
It's great to see the progress being made to rectify hearing loss but there was not much on any leading research into tinnitus. Life with cicadas in your head is unpleasant and unending.
If you are subject to very loud music in discos or at rock concerts/music festivals and are also intoxicated on alcohol or relax drugs like ecstasy then the damage to your hearing can be even greater-- under normal conditions the ear muscles close in to protect the ear drums etcetera but alcohol and drugs prevent this protective mechanism from kicking in.
Since 3 years I do experience the same ears problems that you are talking about ; maffle sounds ,vertigo ,tinnitus I was never exposed to to loud sound !!! (?)
I think Hearing damage, and Brain damage go "Hand in Hand" 😂
I have had a high pitch tinnitus 24/7 for many years and I suspect it's induced not only by loud noise (I used to work on sonicator without ear protection during grad school) but also by regular, intense meditation I have been doing. Does it bother me? Yes, especially at the waking time in the morning.
Wow. I was listening to this on earbuds in a noisy cafeteria. I had just turned the volume up and dismissed the phones warning about listening above recommend levels. ....makes a guy think.
When my child was born, they came and tested her hearing within a day of her birth. Her hearing was good. I wondered how that test was supposed to work.
I have hyperacusis, so sounds feel louder for me than so for the average person. I wear earplugs often because things are so loud in public. I can hear electricity especially when I'm charging electronics. I also struggled in situations with a lot of other noise, like a party.
When I listen to music on my phone, I'm on the lowest sound setting on my phone and it's still too loud for me.
as a deaf sometimes people told me that I'm not good at listening
What's the tune playing in the club? Recognize it but can't remember the title... Cheers in advance 😊
Man it's been 4 years I don't leave the house without my headphones because the noise outside bothers me
Same here. Noise makes me go really mad especially screaming kids , loud people talking on their loudspeaker or noisy neighbours. I don't know what to do.

This is a condition of noise sensitivity called hyperacusis, which is often related to tinnitus.
I got a "hissing" sound in my ears a few years ago and it doesn't often stop. It used to stop for a few hours if I took Allegra and Dayquil at the same time. When it's gone I don't want to sleep because I know when I wake up it will be there again, and sometimes it gets so loud it's like whistling teapots.
This is scary me as someone who wears headphones a20 to 24hrs a day.
My experience if someone have bladder or kidney problems or urine infection have hearing problems.
25:53 Why I can hear the 19,000Hz and 15,000Hz waves but not the 16,000Hz one? Did the software converted the waves?
Same
The daycare workers should probably be supplied with the DJ's custom earplugs and take turns wearing them.
Btw, for some reason, I was able to hear the 19000 hz (but not 16000 hz). I'm 41 btw and it says 19000 hz is difficult for those over 20 and 16000 hz over 30. I'm 41.
Unfortunately my ear already damaged by my job working on agriculture sector by grass trimmer now I use ear protection. I had been exposed to loud sound for 4 year
I never did like clubs or bars for the same reasons
New DW video. Turn the volume up!

I'm born with severe ski slope meaning I don't hear the high pitch and middle pitch but only have low bass pitch. And yes I have worn hearing aids since I was 4 years old so yeah every few years newer hearing aids replaces the old one
Nice and interesting..... pollution is in everywhere... Sound... Vision.... Intellectual...and so on....👍
I use noise-cancelling earbuds everyday. It's effective! Sometimes too effective 😅
38:18 That knife handling though 😱
Amazing hear researching is developing in Germany and Netherlands as shown here in this video, a pity this new technology is too expensive to help countries like mine in Latin América. I am mexican 😢
good to know what's coming in term of technology assistance. never in life I imagined a contacts lens for eardrums. however, as each technology has it limitations or specific purposes, I don't think te contact lens would fit to someone with damaged cochlea. so, it's seem that the technology for IC hasn't advanced that much compared to others aids. in that sense, I think we are very far from closing the gaps of hard of hearing feelings being part of the rest of community.
Who does the male voiceover for the German interviewees? He sounds like Liam Neeson but I could not find credits
My tinitus started after chiropractor adjusted my neck.
Thanks for the compliment. I hear 19KHz perfectly at 58 years young😂.
Child Day Care center too loud, what a farce. Hmmm, noise from tools is loud yes especially when the noise is high dynamic range, similar to a bang from a pistol. With a steady noise, like music in clubs, the ears have a natural sensitivity adjustment when the noise level is too loud. That sensitivity returns to normal days later. Of course too much of any noise is dangerous.
Hearing range is actually 30Hz to 15kHz. Below 30Hz the sensation {vibration} is feeling sensation over the entire body, above 15kHz of which young children hear.
Is it weird to basically have silence at 16,000 but hear at 19,000? I'm late 20s btw
I think it was an error. Someone commented like yours
Have missed an important part that how to protect our hearing
👍
This documentary gives the wrong impression that noise above 85dB is dangerous even for 20 minutes. Truth is, the 85dB level is set for safe exposure of 8 hours workday.
85db is LOUD. Humans were never meant to be exposed to such volumes constantly day after day....
@@nicktw8688 no, it's not, it's normal listening volume a sound engineer will work at the whole day
Is it possible to look this docu in german, pleas?

It's worthwhile to pay attention to hearing loss but how were those guys cut down these tall trees is it less important to give importance?
Are deaf people at higher overall risk of dementia? I suspect hearing loss is an early *sign* of dementia, not a cause. Loss of smell (anosmia) is often an early sign of Parkinson's and dementias like Alzheimer's, so it wouldn't be that surprising if a brain disease was capable of degrading the ability to hear. All theories of dementia can't be correct (Type III diabetes, head trauma/CTE, viruses like herpes, plaques & tangles, poor oral hygiene/inflammation, hearing loss, etc). Still important to protect your hearing. 💚
thanks for saying that. I suspect many different types of losses may be an early sign of dementia, for it is in a way, the loss of many different parts of the brain
Irish accent means not well thought out video
TF dawg? what are you, French?
So with this theory, all deaf people should have dementia. Back to the drawing table.
Yea it’s likely just depression causing dementia
Someone doesn't understand the difference between causation and correlation.
