Noise is a permanent issue of our current times. Noise at day in huge open space like offices ("Just use headphones"), noise by night in urban areas ("Just use ear plugs"). Meanwhile research has shown, that you can't adjust or get used to noise - you might think otherwise but your ear and brain is doing the heavy lifting for you.
"- We do not get used to noise, but our ears "filter out" unpleasant sounds and cope as well as they can with the daily exposure to intensive noise.
- People are unaware of the damage caused by exposure to high levels of noise due to a lack of information.
- The damage affects not only our hearing ability. It may also appear in the form of insomnia, tiredness, lack of concentration, lack of attention at work, lack of efficiency, and even hypertension, heart problems and digestive disorders."
