How can you protect yourself against noise?
Your honkers no longer make me go bonkers!Tips to stay calm and peaceful even amid all that noise
1.If you are a regular commuter in Bangalore traffic,then you are surely exposed to extreme levels of noise.
To protect your ears from damage consider using ear plugs.They reduce the intensity of noise considerably
making for a more pleasurable commute and this I can tell from experience.You can get earplugs at your
nearest medical store.These earplugs are generally small enough not to be visible to others, just in case you
are thinking that you would look odd with them. :)
2. Listening to your favorite FM station with earphones is a good ploy, but only
if you are in a bus or riding pillion
3. Helmets are great at protecting your head and also keeping the noise out
4. When in a situation where the driver behind you is honking unnecessarily
dont get angry, just turn around and say you can't do anything about it with
a smile, you would be surprised how well a smile works, if you think the other
person wont be able to hear you a smile and gestures work well too.
