Ukuphulukana nokuva kunye nomculo

Abantu abadala nabantwana badla ngokubhencwa kumculo ongxolayo. Ukuphulaphula umculo ongxolayo ngeendlebe eziqhagamshelene nezixhobo ezinjengee-iPods okanye iiMP3 player okanye iikhonsathi zomculo kunokubangela ukuva.

Inxalenye engaphakathi yendlebe ineeseli ezincinane zeenwele (iziphelo zemithambo-luvo).

• Iiseli zeenwele ziguqula isandi sibe ziimpawu zombane.
• Imithambo ke ihambisa le miqondiso isiya ebuchotsheni, eyamkela njengezandi.
• Ezi seli zincinci zeenwele zonakaliswa ngokulula zizandi ezivakalayo.

Indlebe yomntu ifana nalo naliphi na elinye ilungu lomzimba - ukusetyenziswa kakhulu kunokonakalisa.

Ixesha elingaphezulu, ukubhengeza okuphindaphindiweyo kwingxolo ephezulu kunye nomculo kunokubangela ukulahleka kwendlebe.

I-decibel (dB) iyunithi yokulinganisa inqanaba lesandi.

• Esona sandi sithambileyo abanye abantu banokukuva sisi-20 dB okanye sisezantsi.
• Ukuthetha okuqhelekileyo ngama-40 dB ukuya kuma-60 dB.
• Ikhonsathi yedwala iphakathi kwe-80 dB kunye ne-120 dB kwaye inokuphakama njenge-140 dB kanye phambi kwezithethi.
• Ii-headphone ngevolumu ephezulu zimalunga ne-105 dB.

Umngcipheko womonakalo kwindlebe yakho xa umamele umculo uxhomekeke:

• Ungxola kangakanani umculo
• Usondele kangakanani kwizithethi
• Kuza kube nini kwaye kangaphi uchanabeke kumculo ongxolayo
• Ukusetyenziswa kweNtloko kunye nohlobo
• Imbali yosapho yokulahleka kwendlebe

Imisebenzi okanye imisebenzi eyonyusa amathuba akho okuphulukana nokuva kumculo zezi:

• Ukuba yimvumi, ilungu labasebenzi besandi, okanye injineli yokurekhoda
• Ukusebenza kwiklabhu yasebusuku
• Ukuya kwiikonsathi
• Sebenzisa izixhobo eziphathwayo zomculo ezinee-headphone okanye iindlebe

Abantwana abadlala ngokwamaqela esikolo banokuvezwa kwizandi eziphezulu zedecibel, kuxhomekeka kwizixhobo abahlala kufutshane okanye abazidlalayo.

I-napkins edibeneyo okanye izicubu azenzi nto ukukhusela iindlebe zakho kwiikonsathi.

Iindidi ezimbini zee-earplugs ziyafumaneka ukunxiba:

• Iigwebu okanye ii-earplugs ze-silicone, ezifumaneka kwiindawo zokuthengisa iziyobisi, zinceda ukunciphisa ingxolo. Baya kungxola izandi kunye namazwi kodwa banokulingana ngokufanelekileyo.
• Iindlebe zemvumi ezikulungeleyo ngokwesiko zilunge ngakumbi kunogwebu okanye ezesilicone kwaye awutshintshi umgangatho wesandi.

Ezinye iingcebiso ngelixa zikwindawo yomculo zezi:

• Hlala ubuncinci beemitha ezintathu okanye ngaphezulu kude nezithethi
• Thatha ikhefu kwiindawo ezizolileyo. Nciphisa ixesha lakho malunga nengxolo.
• Hamba ujikeleze indawo ukuze ufumane indawo ezolileyo.
• Kulumkele ukuba abanye bakhwaze ezindlebeni zakho ukuze baviwe. Oku kunokubangela ingozi ngakumbi ezindlebeni zakho.
• Thintela utywala obuninzi, obunokukwenza ungazazi iintlungu ezivakalayo.

Phumla iindlebe zakho kangangeeyure ezingama-24 emva kokuvezwa kumculo onamandla ukuze ubanike ithuba lokuchacha.

Iifowuni zentloko ezincinci zesitayile seendlebe (ezifakwe ezindlebeni) azithinteli izandi zangaphandle. Abasebenzisi bathambekele ekunyuseni ivolumu ukuthintela enye ingxolo. Ukusebenzisa ii-earphone zokucima ingxolo kunokukunceda ugcine ivolumu phantsi kuba unokuwuva ngokulula umculo.

Ukuba unxiba ii-headphone, ivolumu ingxola kakhulu ukuba umntu omi kufutshane nawe unokuwuva umculo ngee-headphone zakho.

Ezinye iingcebiso malunga nee-headphone zezi:

• Nciphisa ixesha olisebenzisa kwiifowuni.
• Yehlisa ivolumu. Ukumamela umculo kwinqanaba lesi-5 okanye ngaphezulu kwimizuzu nje eli-15 ngemini kunokubangela ukonakala kwexesha elide.
• Sukunyusa ivolumu edlulileyo kwindawo yesiqingatha kwibar yevolumu xa usebenzisa ii-headphone. Okanye, sebenzisa umda wevolumu kwisixhobo sakho. Oku kuya kukuthintela ekujikeni isandi siphezulu kakhulu.

Ukuba uyakhala ezindlebeni zakho okanye iindlebe zakho azidumanga ngaphezulu kweeyure ezingama-24 emva kokuvezwa kumculo ongxolayo, ukuva kwakho makuhlolwe ngugqirha wezandi.

Jonga umboneleli wakho wezempilo ngeempawu zokuphulukana nokuva ukuba:

• Ezinye izandi zibonakala zingaphezulu kunokuba kufanelekile.
• Kulula ukuva amazwi amadoda kunamazwi ababhinqileyo.
• Unengxaki ukuxelela izandi eziphakamileyo (ezinje nge "s" okanye "th") ezisuka komnye.
• Abanye abantu bavakala ngathi bayadideka okanye badikiwe.
• Kufuneka ujike umabonakude okanye unomathotholo phezulu okanye ezantsi.
• Uyakhala okanye uziva ngokupheleleyo ezindlebeni zakho.
