Physical hazards in a home
Noise:
Noise is a hazard because to affects a person hearing temporary or permanently. It happens when
a person is exposed to high level of noise. Even though hearing loss is a thing in late adults it is not
to the extend where they can’t hear anyone speaking.

who are trying to communicate won’t be able to hear each other and each person may need to get
closers to the ear whiles shouting for the other person they’re talking to hear clearly. This causes
harm because firstly there’re shouting in the ear whiles closer which gives a higher chance of the
person getting a temporary hearing loss due to the shouting whiles there’s high level of noise
e.g.:

effect someone’s sleep noise can affect someone’s seep because in the brain there’s an organ that
sense danger, so having someone who’s sleeping exposed to noise they can have a sudden shock
and wake up this can cause high blood pressure because of the suddenly waking up and can feel
restless or unrested.
