Acoustic
Ergonomic (Sound
Environment) Services
-
Clinical research
indicates that every sound in your
environment has a significant effect on your physical health, whether or not your ears are
able to detect the sound or not. Through a process called
entrainment, the body rhythms (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory
rate, etc.) will attempt to match the strongest beat in the
environment. While entrainment can be used to achieve positive
physiological results, unrecognized environmental sounds can cause a
wide variety of problems. Acoustic Ergonomic Consultations can
help detect possible concerns and provide the best possible sound
environment in your home or office.
