Hearing loss is normally associated with old age or years of touring in a rock band. But preventable noise-induced hearing loss is actually pretty common in the general population, affecting around 15% of Americans according to the National Institute of Deafness and Communication Disorders (NIDCD).
When that damage is done to the sensory hair cells in the ear, people can’t regenerate them, so the damage is permanent, explains John Oghalai, professor of otolaryngology at Stanford University and director of the Children’s Hearing Center at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. 【F1】
While there is ongoing research into finding ways to regenerate sensory hair cells and improve cochlear (耳蜗) implants, there is no perfect solution to hearing loss right now, which makes the need to lessen our exposure to loud noise that much more important.
Even if New Yorkers can avoid loud restaurants, 5.7 million people travel by subway each weekday. 【F2】
While the noise inside a subway car is only 75-85 decibels (分贝)—provided no one is shouting and there are no performers—the noise of a train passing the station is another matter.
In Times Square, one of the busiest subway stations in the city, the noise level ranges from 80 decibels to 96 decibels when the express trains barrel through the station.
Everyday city noises are impossible to avoid but there are a few things people can do to help prevent from hearing damage. It can be a good idea to use foam earplugs if you are stuck waiting for the express train. The same rule applies to loud concerts, says Oghalai.
【F3】
For headphones, there is a simple rule: if you can hear someone else’s music when they have them on, the volume is too loud, Oghalai says.
For eating out, there are now noise ratings included in many restaurant reviews.
Companies like Apple provide a function to limit the maximum volume on their devices if you are concerned as well.
【F4】
From daily commutes, to eating out to sitting in your apartment and hearing the honking of cars from a sixth-storey window, New York is full of noise no matter where you go.
But for those who can get out of the city, there is somewhere nearby they can go for quiet. 【F5】
In the suburbs, the sound inside a house in upstate New York with the soothing hum of central air and two elderly dogs panting in the background is a relaxing 33 decibels.
【F4】
选项
答案
无论你是日常通勤、外出用餐,还是坐在位于六楼的公寓里,听到窗外传来车辆的鸣笛声,你都会发现纽约到处充斥着各种各样的噪音。
解析
①本句为主从复合句。主句为主系表结构。②句首较长的介词短语From…to…作整个句子的地点状语,表示“从哪里到哪里”,呼应句末主句的让步状语从句。③no matter经常与疑问词连用,此处no matter where引导的让步状语从句意为“无论在哪里”。
