It's a noise, yes, but it's not like the others. You'll like it. You will look for it. You will include it in your life, as soon as you discover its benefits. And the peculiarity of white noise is that it does not let other sounds pass. Have you ever fallen asleep in front of a television without tuning in? Now you'll understand why it's not so strange.

 

White noises are constant, flat sounds. No frequency sounds louder than another because they all have the same power and loudness. The main consequence? It's easy to get caught up in them. It happens to babies and others, too.

 

But, if you keep wondering what white noise is, the best thing to do is to light up some examples for you to listen to.

 

  • The noise produced by a storm.
  • The natural noise of the waves of the sea.
  • The noise of a waterfall or, in smaller terms, of a fountain that does not stop flowing.

 

Now you understand it better, don't you? As you can see, they are white noises because they camouflage other sounds that can deconcentrate us. They are like bubbles that isolate us from everything else and give us a pleasant effect.

 

One of the advantages of white noise is that they are good allies for falling asleep.

 

Many people have serious bedtime problems and no matter how hard they try, they don't make it. Insomnia translates into stress, anxiety and exhaustion. Thanks to white noises, this cycle can be stopped and a better quality of sleep can be achieved. Immersing ourselves in the waves of these sounds will help us to calm down and feel comfortable when we close our eyes.

 

In addition, white noise prevents shocks and prevents attention from focusing on a particular external element, which often leads to states of anxiety.

 

On the other hand, one of the recommendations to mitigate the annoying beeps are the hearing aids, because they can emit a sound of this style, so that they annul it masking the tinnitus. Remember that tinnitus is a phenomenon that consists of the perception of an uninterrupted sound that does not come from any external source. It is a subjective auditory perception, because the beeps exist, but only within the person who suffers them.

 

Well, in the case of tinnitus, since hearing aids cannot perceive the whistle that each one hears, most of them have incorporated a  from bank of sounds the sea, a waterfall, a breeze or any white noise. It's about discovering with your hearing care professional what is the best sound for your case and adjust it until you find the exact frequency.

 

At the same time, these are some habits that will help you to combat the specific rises of the volume of the whistles:

 

  • Avoid listening to music with headphones, and if you do, turn the volume down.
  • It's best not to go to noisy places, such as discos.
  • Play sports to reduce stress.
  • If you're busy with something, you'll think less about whistling.
  • Try not to drink alcohol: the next day tinnitus tends to be higher.
  • Try not to take quinine (in the tonic, for example), aspirin and anti-inflammatory, because they contain substances harmful to tinnitus.

 

Finally, we do not want to say goodbye without using one of your white noises. Give the play and tell us what you feel when listening it...
