Children Afraid of Noise
And Calling, Says Expert
Psychologists tell us that children
appear to have only two basic fears,
says Fred W. Kranz, Ph. D„ director
of research for the Sonotone Corpor
ation, national hearing organization
“Young children are not afraid oi
snakes, mice and other similar things
until the fears of parents have beer
transmitted to their young minds
But youngsters,” says Mr. Kranz
“seem instinctively to be afraid o
(l)a loud noise, and (2) falling.
“It is of interest to note in this
connection that the senses of balanci
and hearing are intimately associat
od. The inner ear has a sound ap
paratus called the Cochlea, and threi
arched semi-circular canals, whicl
constitute the organ of balance, help

nerve transmits sound impulses tc
