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.

Subject: [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.
Thanks and regards
Rohiet A. Patil
