Heal in peace – without stress
Imagine you have injured yourself and have to go to hospital. You are sitting in the emergency room waiting area. All around you there is a constant beeping of equipment, the murmur of other patients, the hectic bustle of staff, the rattling of trolleys, beds, wheelchairs and walking aids. With your nervous system already on edge, you feel overwhelmed and stress sets in. Sounds familiar?
When we are in an unfamiliar environment, we are particularly sensitive to acoustic disturbances. We are more susceptible to stress and our ability to absorb sound is impaired. An optimal acoustic environment is therefore particularly important. It not only contributes to the comfort of patients, but also improves the efficiency of medical staff.
Hospitals, clinics, surgeries and retirement homes therefore require special soundproofing and acoustic solutions that also comply with hygiene standards. But why are room acoustics particularly important here?
Noise pollution in the healthcare sector is increasing worldwide. This is partly due to technical building equipment and partly due to increasingly complex medical devices. A pleasant acoustic environment can help to reduce patients’ stress and anxiety. Less noise means less restlessness and a calmer atmosphere, which contributes to recovery.
To facilitate clear and understandable communication, it is essential to ensure good room acoustics. Good communication improves the quality of care and supports patient safety. It is also important for medical staff to be able to concentrate on their tasks. A balanced acoustic environment minimizes distractions and stress and supports efficient working methods.
At apn®, we offer customized acoustic solutions that are specifically tailored to the needs of the healthcare sector. You tell us your problem and we supply and install the right products to create a pleasant and functional environment. Feel free to contact us!
