In its normal size, people with normal hearing his audiogram lies between 0 to 20 decibels, more than 30 decibels with a range of up to 100 decibels means that there is hearing loss.


The size of the intensity recorded in normal hearing audiogram form, which audiogram located between 30 to 40 decibels, including light interference. From 40 to 60 decibels, including the scale was. Between 60 and 90 decibels is heavy. As an illustration, the sound of the street the same drill with the 100 decibels. Aircraft engine 120 decibels. A quiet room was approximately 30 to 40 decibels. "Enjoy the disco music, attend a dance, working in a factory, listening to music while driving or just listening to music in the room, if you interfere with any ear condition that has included the category 'noise'," said Professor Harvey Dillon, initiating research.

According to Dr Olga Parra conducting joint research team from the University Hospital Barcelona, Spain, difficulty sleeping or 'sleep apnea' can affect the rise in the risk of stroke that resulted in death. Difficulties during sleep are probably due to a disturbance on a regular basis when taking a breath.

This could be a risk of a death caused by stroke. Difficulty to sleep or 'sleep apnea' is estimated to experience nearly 20% of people and the least experienced respiratory problems during the interval was 10 seconds or more that can be experienced over 300 times in one night.
In his research, Dr Olga Parra involving 161 patients with stroke to see the relationship between the risks of stroke with 'sleep apnea'. "Our study is the first time mentioned the relationship between 'sleep apnea' and strokes that can cause death," he said. The relationship is very clear where the 'sleep apnea' is a respiratory disturbance during sleep due to delays in air flow.

Dr Olga Parra started monitoring for stroke patients after the hospital discovered the reality of a patient who suffered a stroke after a disturbance during sleep. For nearly 30 months of research, Dr Olga Parra face the fact that 22 of the 161 patients died. Half of the 22 patients had suffered a stroke the second stage. Patients with the highest of the 161 patients were patients 'sleep apnea' and occupied the highest risk of stroke. Leadership team concluded Dr Olga Parra published by the European Respiratory Journal. Stroke is a disease that causes most deaths and occurs when blood flow to the brain through barriers. Because hampered the flow of oxygen can not flow to the brain. According to the WHO in 2002 earlier estimated 5.5 million people worldwide died of a stroke.
