[3] [4] Changes in the immune system and birth defects have been also attributed to noise exposure. [5] Although age-related health effects ( presbycusis) occur naturally with age, [6] in many ...

3. Noise-cancelling headphones - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones

   Noise-cancelling headphones often combine sound isolation with ANC to maximize the sound reduction across the frequency spectrum. Noise cancellation can also be used without sound isolation to make wanted sounds (such as voices) easier to hear. Noise cancellation to eliminate ambient noise is never passive because of the circuitry required, so ...

4. Noise-induced hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-induced_hearing_loss

   Otorhinolaryngology, audiology. Noise-induced hearing loss ( NIHL) is a hearing impairment resulting from exposure to loud sound. People may have a loss of perception of a narrow range of frequencies or impaired perception of sound including sensitivity to sound or ringing in the ears. [1] When exposure to hazards such as noise occur at work ...

5. Active noise control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

   Active noise control ( ANC ), also known as noise cancellation ( NC ), or active noise reduction ( ANR ), is a method for reducing unwanted sound by the addition of a second sound specifically designed to cancel the first. The concept was first developed in the late 1930s; later developmental work that began in the 1950s eventually resulted in ...

6. Silencer (firearms) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silencer_(firearms)

   A silencer, also known as a sound suppressor, suppressor, or sound moderator, is a muzzle device that suppresses the blast created when a gun (firearm or airgun) is discharged, thereby reducing the acoustic intensity of the muzzle report (sound of a gunshot) and jump, by modulating the speed and pressure of the propellant gas released from the ...
