74-77) addresses a

safety issue of importance to all wood

workers. Some of the information, howev

er, is misleading.

Bone conduction is very important to

our hearing and to the acoustic trauma

we endure but not in the way the article

portrays. Sound waves striking the skull

are, in fact, conducted to the cochlea

(hearing apparatus) and can contribute to

hearing loss. When testing hearing, we of

ten check air conduction vs. bone conduc

tion with a tuning fork placed on the

mastoids (behind the ears) and the midline

forehead. A vibrating tuning fork placed in

those spots easily can be heard by persons

with normal hearing.

The contention in the article that vibra

tion from hand-held power tools conduct

ed through the body can contribute to

hearing loss is absurd. The only apprecia

ble noise reaching the inner ear through

bone conduction is that traveling directly

from the power tool to the skull through

the air. Vibrations conducted through the

body must cross several joints, large and

small, before reaching the head. Cartilage,

tissue and joint fluid would dampen any

vibration to the point of insignificance.

Therefore, we submit that the only way

anti-vibration gloves might help prevent

noise-induced hearing loss is if you cov

ered your ears with them. Anti-vibration

gloves, however, can help reduce cumula

tive trauma disorders like carpal tunnel

syndrome and tendonitis.

The author also emphasizes the amplii

cation of sound at the eardrum compared

with the sound outside the ear. He attrib

utes this to resonation in the ear canal. But

the physical dimensions of the ear canal

are simply not large enough to allow for

resonation at these lower frequencies. The

higher measurements he and his re

searchers obtained are most likely due to

internal ampliication of the miniature mi

crophone or resonation of its sound tube.

n incorrect definition of the decibel was

also given in the article. Named in honor of

Alexander Graham Bell, one bel repre

sents the difference in sound intensity be

tween two sounds, one being 10 times

more powerful than the other. A sound

carrying twice the power of another sound

is 3 dB louder, not 6 dB, and a lO-time pow

er increase results in a 10 dB increase in

loudness, not 20 dB as stated in the article.

Last, the statement is made in the article

that tinnitus (ringing in the ears) will warn

you of impending hearing loss if it occurs

after loud noise exposure. While this is

true, it is very common for a person to ex

perience noise-induced hearing loss with

out having tinnitus. So relying on this

symptom to give you early warning is not

#110, pp.

. Fi nk, Shelbune, Vt.

As a sufferer from tinnitus, a very frustrat

ing condition, I was pleased to read Jack

Vernon's article "Taming Woodworking

Noise." In years past in my work place, I

was subjected to continuous loud noise

and am now suffering from tinnitus (in my

case, an ever-present buzzing).

Use care. I will be forever plagued by this

condition. This could have been avoided if

the danger of continuous loud noise had

been recognized. A safe shop must include

noise reduction and ear protection.

to consider motor enclosures and fully en

closed cabinets for their tablesaws. Also, a

close-fitting throat plate (other than met

contribute to noise reduction.

Mr. Vernon's worthwhile mention of dull

and, therefore, noisy cutting tools was ex

cellent and has long been overlooked as a

source of unnecessary shop noise (not to

mention the extreme physical danger of

using dull cutting tools).

short piece titled "A raven's tale in African

mahogany." It is apparent the creators of

this piece know little or nothing about tl1e

art and culture of the native people of the

orthwest coast. They have erroneously

stated an important myth of the raven and

the sun (the chief was not "greedy," but a

proud possessor of a valuable resource)

and demonstrated virtually no knowledge

of the sculptural and two-di1ensional art

style of these people.

There is a serious disrespect here for na

tive culture. No attempt has been made to

understand or learn this complicated art

style, nor to understand the essence and

importance of this myth.

I have spent years studying and learning

about the art form of the Northwest coast

peoples. My respect and admiration for

these cultures compels me to make these

pieces in a respectful manner. I do exten

workers, including native people.
