Celebrate World Hearing Day: Simple ways to protect your hearing

Dadka intooda badani kama fekeraan maqalkooda ilaa ay bilaabaan inay lumiyaan. Maqal beelista waxaa sabab u noqon kara sababo kala duwan oo ay ka mid yihiin in uu gaaro buuq sarreeya, cudurro, hiddo-side iyo gabow. In the United States, about 1 in 8 people 12 years or older have hearing loss.

Inkastoo maqalka la'aanta ay saameyn karto dadka da'aha oo dhan, waxay ku badan tahay dadka sii waaweyn. About 1 in 3 adults between the ages of 65 and 74 have hearing loss, and the numbers increase in people above 75.

Sababta caafimaadka maqalku muhiim u yahay

Inkastoo dad badan aysan uba haysan in maqal la'aantu wax wayn tahay, haddana run ahaantii waxay saameyn qoto dheer ku leedahay nolosha qofka. Maqal la'aanta waxay adkayn kartaa fahamka hadalka, gaar ahaan marka lagu jiro xaalado buuq badan. Taasi macnaheedu waa in dadka maqal la'aantu hayso ay xaaladaha bulshada gooni-socod ka ahaadaan, ay dhibaato ku qabi karaan ka qaybgalka shaqada, oo ay u dareemaan go'doon iyo qulub.

Dadka maqal la'aanta la nool waxay la kulmi karaan ceebayn, fikrado khaldan oo ay dadka kale ka qabaan, sida dadka oo aan u jawaabin, saaxiibtinimo la'aan, ama iyagoo u arka dadka maqalka la' inay yihiin kuwo aan caqli badan lahayn taasoo sii kordhisa dhibaatooyinka qofka maqalka la' gaara.

People with hearing loss also have a greater risk of falls, and of developing dementia. Mar kasta oo maqal la'aantu sii waynaato, halista ayaa sii kororta. Hase yeeshee, xataa kuwa maqal la'aanta fudud hayso waxay u leeyihiin khatar laba jibaar ah xusuus-beelka marka la barbardhigo kuwa maqalkoodu caadiga yahay.

Siyaabaha aad u ilaalinayso maqalkaaga

Waa muhiim inaad ilaaliso maqalka aad leedahay iyo inaad caawimaad raadsato haddii aad u malayso in aad qabto in maqal la'aan.

• Dhegahaaga ilaali marka aad ku sugan tahay meelo cod dheer ka jiro. Sida aad u xiratid muraayadaha si aad indhahaaga uga ilaaliso qorraxda, waxaa muhiim ah inaad dhegahaaga ka ilaaliso buuqa xad-dhaafka ah. Sii qaado dhego-juf haddaad riwaayad ama meel kale oo cod dheer ka jiro aadeysid oo ka dheerow sameecadaha. Haddii aad in muddo ah joogaysid halkaas, dhegahaaga nasi adigoo aadayo meelo deggan oo aan buuq lahayn. Haddii aad isku aragto dhegahaaga inay samaynayaan shanqar, waxay tani tilmaan u tahay in waxyeelo soo gaartay maqalkaaga uu durba dhacay. Calaamadahan si dhab ah u qaado oo dhegahaaga si dhab ah u sii waqti ay ku soo kabtaan.
• Fiiro gaar ah sii marka aad isticmaasho sameecadaha dhegaha. Listening to music or even speech with headphones at a high volume can damage your hearing in a matter of minutes. Dooro inaad ku dhagaysato cod hoose. Dhaqaatiirta maqalka waxay ku talinayaan in heerarka maqalka lagu hayo ama ka hooseeyo boqolkiiba 60 ee heerka ugu badan. Inta u dhaxaysa 65-85 decibels waxaa loo tixgeliyaa inay yihiin heer ammaan ah; tani waxay u dhigantaa heerka hadalka caadiga ah ee dadka marka la eego dhanka hoose iyo gaadiidka magaalada mashquulka badan marka la eego dhanka sare.
• Monitor volume levels: If you’re at an event where you can control the volume, such as a party or a personal music player, keep the volume at a safe level. Sida sameecadaha dhagaha ee shakhsi ahaaneed, sida wanaagsani waa inaad ku ilaaliso 60 boqolkiiba heerka codka ugu badan. There are many sound decibel meter apps available for smartphones, including the NIOSH Sound Level Meter App.
• Haddii fahamkaaga hadalka uu ka adag yahay sidii uu ahaan jiray, dhakhtarkaaga la hadal. Maqal la'aantu marmarka qaar si kadis ah ayuu u dhacaa, laakiin inta badan si tartiib tartiib ah ayuu u dhacaa. Haddii ay kugu adagtahay inaad fahamto waxa ay dadka kale yidhaahdaan, siiba marka aad xaalado buuq badan ku jirto, la hadal dhakhtarkaaga. Waxa uu meesha ka saari karaa waxyaabaha ay ka midka yihiin dhukayga dhagaha ama caabuqa sinus-ka wuxuuna kuu gudbin karaa dhakhtarka maqalka si uu kuugu sameeyo baaritaanka maqalka. Haddii aad maqal la'aan qabto, qalabka maqalku wuxuu kaa caawinayaa inaad si wanaagsan u fahamto hadalka.

  Maqalkaagu wuxuu muhiim u yahay caafimaadkaaga guud ee maskaxda, caadifadeed iyo caafimaadka jidhka. Daryeel maanta iyo maalin kasta!
