Re: [AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired
Hi friends! Thanks a lot for all the views express by you people regarding this serias issue. I often conselt with my ENT for this problem. One of those doctor told me that I don't think because of use of a headphones your los will be develop. As all of you are saing that taking the breaks, working without a headphone, and such other things may be the solutions for it. But we have to think that are they practical in our working situations? I think, in most of the situations they are not practical. Because we have to work with the headphones in our offices and there is a diferant levels of cooperation from the people. and the most important thing, people are often searching the opportunities to discorage and also discriminate us on any ground. So according to my openian, should we search for any outsourcing? like any kind of home base jobs in which we can work at our home and we do not need to were a headphone. PLS throw some light on it.

She told the following: 1. The volume should be low. 2. Should take rest for at least 15 minutes after every 1 half hours of head phone usage. If your head phone usage is based on these 2 conditions, then there is absolutely no problem on your ears. Also please check if you feel any blockage in your ears, then that may be because of the ear wax gone into your inner ears. Note that please do not use any kind of ear butts or dont put any thing like the pins etc to clean your ears. This is a very harmful habit that can some times harm your ear drum. Please go to an ENT doctor once in a year or once in 6 months for cleaning your ear wax if you feel so. Thanks regards, Vijayalakshmi. Great days!

[AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired community
Dear list members, I would like to invite your views and openians on the following. Recently we all have read the e-mails from our 2 members mr. Manish Agarwal and mr. shadaph husen. mr. Agarwal wrote that he is facing some hearing problem dew to the robotic voices of our screen reader programs. Friends, most of us are working in a computer bassed jobs. In this kind of jobs, we have to work with headphones for around 7 8 hrs or more according to jobs. I think that this might develop hearing problems in our year. Because there is no option to use headphones during work hours. And the voices are very troublesome. If we think to use other voices from JAWS, there quality is not so good that we can understand each and every word. So friends, according to my personal view, it may be a serias problem among us. in one side we are saing that IT sector have opend many opportunities for the employment of V I, but if this is the other side that affects our basic capability of hearing then it is time to think on any effective solution on this problem. There is no need to mention that if a visually impaired person have no perfect hearing, then he has to face many problems in his/her daily life. The problems may be regarding comunication or interaction or mobility also. Now you might think that why I am writing such a long mail and very deeply? Because I am facing such problems in my life. I already have almost 80% hearing los and I have to work in the above mentioned situation. I am affreding that if I continue to work in the same situation, the problem may get develop. Your views regarding this problems are welcome and esencial. Friends, sorry for such a long mail, but it is very very important for all of us. So lets discuss this issue very seriasly.

Re: [AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired
Don't use headphone if you care for your ears my friend. Initially, I'd also started with headphones at my workplace but the experience had been traumatic. Within 10-15 days only, I started having constant pain in one of my ears and that very day I decided to give it up. I bought my own speakers. And installed at my workplace. Now you must be wondering that either I would be possessing a single cabin for myself or I would have been complained by colleagues for disturbance? But nothing went either way. I had a cabin of four employees and to couple/triple it, other cabins were also connected to it both at the frunt and at the back and that too the cabins were just like as that of what we use to have in cyber cafe (without walls). But nobody complained -- reason being the very low sound at which I used to listen to. Ok. So, it's my strong advice that use headphones occasionally -- not as the only mean... It's better to listen a bit wrong at first rather than to lose it later all together. And lastly, you'll become habitual listening at a low voice within few days... the same way that habituates a VC to these robotic voices (that are not intelligible to sighted persons). After all, man inherits his quality of adaptability as that of other species from nature! To unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject unsubscribe.

Re: [AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired
I also had the same problem and I stopped using the head phone, but since I have to attend several phones the aching is decreasing at a small pace only. - Original Message - From: Ramit Luthra [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2007 11:47 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired Don't use headphone if you care for your ears my friend.

Re: [AI] Increaseing hearing problems among visually impaired community
I think the best solution is to work without headphones as much as possible or, if you can't avoid using headphones, take regular breaks --say, once in 20 or 25 minutes-- and keep yourself absolutely out of noise by using ear plugs (a good pair of ear plugs are available in health and glow shops for Rs 90). Don't wear headphones without covering (if possible, to a great extent) your ears with cotton. After office hours, spend more hours inside your private room without any kind of noise. Avoid going to parties where you may have to encounter more noise in the form of music played loudly. Above all, check your constantly with an ENT specialist and undergo audiogram tests to make sure your hearing isn't dropping considerably.
