This week is Tinnitus Week (4 th – 10 th February 2019) – an annual week that aims to raise awareness of how the condition impacts those who live with it around the world. And according to the British Tinnitus Association, the condition affects a staggering 10% of the adult population and can be exacerbated or triggered by exposure to loud noise. This is why we are warning that noise mitigation strategies should be implemented into our everyday lives to prevent a range of illnesses.
Peter Wilson, founder of Echo Barrier, said:
“There is a wealth of research being undertaken that shows the impact our environment has on our bodies, with noise being a focal point. Tinnitus is only one of many known by-products of excessive noise. “As an acoustics expert, I have seen first-hand the impact of noise pollution and more needs to be done to implement noise mitigation strategies into our everyday lives."
"Temporary acoustic barriers can help local authorities, construction, rail and live events companies reduce their noise pollution, and in turn, help reduce the impact on their local communities.”
Here at Echo Barrier, we understand the impact that noise pollution can have on quality of life and sleep. Our market leading acoustic products have been used to reduce noise from construction sites across the world including during essential roadwork operations at One World Trade Centre in Manhattan. There was a clear need to keep noise pollution and disruption to a minimum for this renowned and sensitive site for the sake of residents, tourists and businesses alike.
If you’re looking for ways to reduce noise from your
construction site, live event or
demolition work, we can provide you with the products that can help to maintain good community relations while operating in busy residential environments.
