On 07th March 2024, we’ll conduct a 1 hour lecture for Phase 3 Students of Atılım Univ. Medical School with a subject of Noise Pollution and Health.

Here is the 37 slides PDF file (2,7 MB) : Noise Pollution and Health

Some important reminders for all                    :

1. Hearing Damage : Noise pollution drives hearing loss, tinnitus, and hypersensitivity to sound. Protect your ears and advocate for noise reduction.
2. Cardiovascular Risks : Noise can exacerbate cardiovascular diseases.
   It’s not just about what you see on an ECG; consider the noise around
   your patients.
3. Sleep Disturbances :  Noise disrupts sleep patterns, affecting overall health.
   Prioritize quiet environments for healing.
4. Stress and Mental Health : Chronic noise exposure leads to stress, cognitive impairments, and memory deficits. Recognize noise as a mental health factor.
5. Childhood Development : Chronic noise exposure leads to stress, cognitive impairments, and memory deficits. Recognize noise as a mental health factor.
