⏰ New Blog!
One of the biggest reasons our brains become less adaptable isn't simply because of age.
It's because we stop giving them reasons to change. That is an incredibly hopeful message!

Discover why learning difficult new skills may be one of the most powerful ways to keep your brain healthy. Explore the science of neuroplasticity, movement, hearing, balance and lifelong learning, and why making mistakes is essential for maintaining cognitive function as we age. This idea resonates

Do get in touch if you want advice on this. The important thing to remember is that sound intensity doubles for every 3 decibel increase. This is called a logarithmic scale, so safe exposure time is cut IN HALF for every 3 dB rise above 85 decibels!! Example: 85dB over an 8-hour period is considered a maximum safe limit. This could be noise such as heavy traffic. If you go up to 88dB eg. a mower, all of a sudden you are down to 4 hours safe exposure. Go up to 91dB (underground trains), 2 hours. For 100dB (nightclub) it’s suddenly only 15 minutes!!! So a music concert could get to 120dB+ and now you do the math… 👂🏾 Take care of your ears folks.

Ear plugs are becoming an increasingly popular accessory at music festivals.

Modern life has quietly removed one of the most essential inputs your nervous system needs: frequent, gentle, forward movement.
We sit. We focus. We stay. I wrote about this last month: https://thesoundteacher.co.uk/blog/walking-counts

Sitting for prolonged periods is associated with health complications – but you can counteract the risks of a sedentary life.
