Sound Practices: Noise Control in the Healthcare Environment
Comment on the need for training for nurses in the area of assessing elderly patients.
Despite all of the advances the modern healthcare has to offer, sound management is one of the issues that can affect patients that has actually gotten worse over the years. Much of the technology that has been introduced into healthcare facilities has often neglected the effects of sound in patient areas. Further, patients and visitors often bring their own devices which can also add to the sound levels. The problem of noisy environments can actually build upon itself as well because once the noise levels increase then anyone in that environment will have to speak louder than the surroundings to be heard.
Noisy environments can led to problems in all patients, but especially the elderly. One effect of noise can be the increase in blood pressure as well as heartrates (HermanMiller Healthcare, 2006). Higher blood pressure can lead to the higher risk of cardiac problems as well as increase the risk of heart attacks. It can also psychologically stress a patient and prevent them for getting the rest they may need for their own recovery. To access the sound levels in a healthcare environment, a digital...

Henry Hill may be one of them -- but at the same time, he is not: their dialogue is fatuous, unreflective, and insipid. Their voices bounce against the voice of the narrator and shatter into pieces. The contrapuntal use of sound as the scene continues reveals a gangster world that is as fragile as it is glamorous -- the slightest glitch could bring the whole thing to a crash.
Sound in Cinema The end of the era of silent film and the movement to sound effects was an inevitable occurrence in cinema. As the viewers clamored to identify a more realistic portrayal of subjects in the film, the worldwide industry of cinema transitioned quickly from rudimentary sound effects to the prospect of "talkies" by the 1930s. However, even with the vanguard and innovation of synchronized sounds at the peak of
Sound Effects in American Horror Story and the Tell-Tale Heart Sound has been an important aspect of the performing arts even when films were still silent.
