Sound pollution also occurs during this season. Dr Sheelu Srinivas, Consultant ENT Surgeon and Director, Dr Sheelu’s ENT Centre and Deafness Habilitation Unit, says, “There is not much that one can do about this apart from staying away from crackers entirely or bursting the less noisy ones.”
She adds, “If a cracker bursts very close to the ear, the person may experience a ringing sound in the ear or a tear in the eardrum. Any noise above 85 decibels can cause damage to the inner ear.” She advises people to burst crackers in larger spaces. “They can also use ear muffs as this dampens the sound out.

We are shortlisted for BMJ South Asia 2015 Awards:Healthcare Advocacy
This is for our work on deafness:early diagnosis and intervention in the community.
It means a lot to my team of audiologists,speech pathologist,Pediatricians, immunisation nurses,ASHA workers,Anganwadi teachers,Parents,Volunteers and our supporters
http://southasiaawards.bmj.com/about-bmj-awards/
There is a long road ahead but early diagnosis and intervention is the key.We have been proposing pediatric hearing screening in immunisation OPD.As regarding rehabilitation,again early and we advocate speech,language and education for the young deaf (infant to 6 years).This will prepare them for mainstream or integration.
Deafness is a silent disability but not a mental disability,early habilitation can make them independent and a productive member of our society.
