<<Listening Booster 1>> - Turn your MP3 players down!

Millions of people across Europe could lose their hearing after five years if they listen to MP3 players at too high a volume, scientists warned. If they listened for only five hours a week at more than 89 decibels, they would already exceed EU limits for noise allowed in the workplace, they said. But if they listened for longer periods, they would risk permanent hearing loss after five years.

MP3 플레이어의 볼륨을 낮추세요
MP3 플레이어의 볼륨을 너무 크게 해서 들으면 유럽 인구 수백만 명이 5년 후에는 청력을 잃을 수도 있다고 과학자들이 경고했다. 89데시벨 이상으로 일주일에 5시간만 들어도, EU의 직장 내 소음제한을 이미 넘어서게 되는 것이라고 이들은 말했다. 하지만 이보다 더 오래 듣게 되면 5년 후에 청력을 영구적으로 상실할 위험이 있다고 한다.

<<Listening Booster 2>>
  - Disco song Stayin’ Alive could save your life
U.S. doctors have found the Bee Gees 1977 disco tune Stayin’ Alive provides an ideal beat to follow while performing chest compressions as part of CPR on a heart attack victim. The American Heart Association calls for chest compressions to be given at a rate of 100 per minute in CPR. Stayin’ Alive almost perfectly matches that, with 103 beats per minute.

디스코 곡 Stayin’ Alive, 당신의 목숨을 구할 수도
심장마비 환자에게 CPR의 일환으로 흉부압박을 할 때, 미국 의사들은 비지스가 1977년 발표한 디스코 곡 Stayin’ Alive의 박자에 맞출 때 가장 이상적이라고 생각하는 것으로 나타났다. 미국 심장 학회는 CPR시 흉부압박을 1분에 100회의 속도로 할 것을 권하는데, Stayin’ Alive는 1분당 103비트라서 그 속도와 거의 완벽하게 일치한다는 것.
