Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) "E hoa, ka taea e koe te whakaiti i te puoro?" Ki te mea tetahi ki a koe i te wa e mau ana koe i o taringa taringa, kia mahara: Kei te raru pea koe i to rongo. Neke atu i te kotahi piriona ngā taiohi me ngā taiohi kei te mōrea te ngaro i te rongo, e ai ki te WHO (ko te World Health Organization, ehara i te rōpū rokiroki). Ehara i te mea ko nga kaumātua anake e raru ana i te ngoikoretanga o te rongo. Mā te whakarongo noa ki te puoro i te taumata e whakaarohia ana e koe he mea noa iho, mā te haere rānei ki ngā pae nui, ki ngā karapu pō, ki ngā hui puoro, hākinakina rānei, ka taea e koe te tūkino tonu i tō rongo. Mā te tātari i ngā tikanga whakarongo o te hunga 12 ki te 35 tau te pakeke i ngā whenua whai rawa huri noa i te ao, i kitea e te WHO tata ki te 50% o te hunga i ako i te whakarongo ki ngā taumata haruru kino i runga i ngā pūrere oro whaiaro, ā, tata ki te 40% e pā ana ki ngā taumata kino o te puoro me te haruru i ngā wāhi whakangahau. Kāore e roa te wā e whara ai te rongo i tētahi pae hākinakina, i tētahi karapu pō rānei. E ai ki te WHO, "ko te pānga ki ngā taumata haruru o te 100 dB, he mea noa iho i roto i aua wāhi, he haumaru mō te 15 meneti anake". Ki te ngaro tō rongo, kāore e hoki mai. E mōhio pai ana te kaiwaiata rapper Plan B me te kaiwaiata matua o Coldplay, a Chris Martin. E rua rāua e mamae ana i te tinnitus, te ngaronga o te rongo e pā ana ki te tangi tonu me te haruru i roto i ngā taringa, nā te mea kāore i tiakina tō rātau rongo. Inaianei kua honoa e rātau ngā kaha ki tētahi rōpū Ingarihi mō te ngaronga rongo hei whakatūpato i ētahi atu. "E mamae ana ahau i te tinnitus", e ai ki te Mahere B i runga i actionhearingloss.org. "I te tīmatanga o taku whakawhanake, i whakaaro ahau he tereina e rere ana i taku whare i te mea e noho ana ahau i te taha o te raina tereina. He nui rawa te reo, he tangi tino nui i roto i oku taringa. Inaianei me mau e au he taringa motuhake ina haere ahau ki te moenga hei awhina i oku taringa kia kore e tangi". "Ko te tiaki i o taringa he mea e kore e whakaaroa e koe kia puta ra ano he raruraru", e kii ana a Martin. "Kua tata ki te 10 tau au e raru ana i te tinnitus, a mai i taku tiimata ki te tiaki i oku taringa, kaore i kino ake (pa ki te rakau). Engari me i whakaaro wawe ahau ki taua mea". Ina tae mai ki ngā pūrere whakarongo whaiaro,...
Ko te 50% o te hunga i rangahauhia e whakarongo ana ki ngā taumata oro e kore e haumaru i runga i ngā pūrere oro whaiaro. Ka puta mai hoki ngā taumata haruru kino mai i te whakapau wā i roto i ngā pae haruru, i ngā whakataetae hākinakina rānei. Ko Chris Martin o Coldplay me te kaiwaiata rapper Plan B e hiahia ana kia tiakina o rātau taringa.
