Some kids say hand dryers hurt their ears. A Canadian girl conducted a study about it

A Canadian eighth-grader's science experiment raises questions about whether hand dryers, like the ones found in public restrooms around the world, can damage the hearing of young children.

The study, published last month in the journal Paediatrics & Child Health, also indicates that some manufacturers' stated noise ratings might be nothing but hot air.Calgary, Alberta, eight-grader Nora Keegan started with some anecdotal evidence."Informally, parents have said that their children refuse to go into particular washrooms because the dryers are too noisy, and children say they 'hurt my ears,'"Nora wrote.

Aye, but so does providing school children with smart phones and headphones which they use to listen to music pumped to 11. Or living next to airports. Or next to highways. Or living in big cities.

Reseqrch around to globe raises the question if guns can literally kill your children.

Yup

Some of them, the high pressure ones definitely hurt one’s ears. It’s not just kid’s ears that are sensitive to this.

Wow

My experiment replacing toilet paper with ass dryers have proven to be a major health risk.

The dyson blades were already proven to be more unsanitary than the manual push driers anyway. Let’s use lasers?

I believe it. My daughter gets scared when she hears one of these go off while I’m changing her diaper

fuck the hearing they spread crazy germs don’t ever use these google it these things are crazy dirty

This is what is news? 🙄

Hey, we found out what Mellisa's kid's doing, after all these years...!

Maybe its a reading comprehension issue. Its a HAND dryer.

Coincidentally, every kid that experienced a loss of hearing plays Fortnite with headphones on full blast and screams into their microphone until 3 am every damn night!

Or even adults. I won't use those things and plug my ears as I walk by. They are way too loud,

How do people even get the kids ears into those things? It's not like the opening is big enough to put their heads in, whilst drying their hair.

Up next..... using pens and pencils can cause early arthritis in kids

If not their hearing then definitely their immune systems. Hand dryers should be outlawed. NAS. TEE.

Sigh...........

nope

How long are u gonna dry your hands to the point where you can damage your hearing? Maybe if you dry your hair

That and they are disgusting. Spreading fecal matter everywhere. Hearing loss is the least of my worries. They'll lose that later anyway when they dance to close to the speakers at the club they sneak out to with friends.

Yes they do. Why do you think we used paper towels, until they were declared hazardous? We used to care about children's health.😞

I'd also like to know what is in all that water that blows out and around it. Eeewww

Great job 'junior scientist'. Keep that curious brain of yours working.

now I need answer

Yes

Ya because that’s the real danger , not the fact that the dryer sucks up the air from the bathroom, meaning your blowing fecal matter bacteria back on your hands sheep.

Definitely probably right about that expecially for someone so young

SFBART probably like the screeching of the trains. berkeleyside hknightsf nbcbayarea SFGate

Oh come on

Yes but the ear buds attached to their heads won’t

Have you ever gone to a drum corps show? No? Then stop talking. That bitch is loud. But not that loud.

CNN... Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time the world tries to do something fun or exciting, you make it not that way. I hate so much about the things that you choose to be. -MichaelScott

Yes! So can airplanes, trains, car windows down while riding around in town, vacuum cleaners, washing machines: especially inside a laundry mat, dryers: both clothes and hair, radios, televisions, movie theaters, lawn mowers, weed eaters, alarms on fire trucks and police cars.

Considering they have already shown to spray fecal matter they should be removed.

Wow so it's not a good idea to use them as hair dryers for infants? Thank you for this information!

Probably, but I don’t let my daughter go into public restrooms alone and I put my hands over her ears when she’s using one.

itisimrankhan 😃

What?

But yet these 8th graders wear headphones all the time

People die of infections everyday, focus on that!

What about drying the face! Thoughts.

Also they are e coli cannons.

Really are they too dangerous for ears
