Outdoor Games vs Digital Games: A Youth Perspective on a Modern Dilemma
The timeless debate between the call of the outdoors and the allure of the digital screen has found a fresh, new voice. Budding author Sabarish Yukanth S has entered the conversation with his insightful new book, “Outdoor Games vs Digital Games”, offering a youth perspective on a modern parenting and educational dilemma.
Published by the creative children’s platform BriBooks, the book moves beyond a simple comparison, exploring how both forms of play can co-exist in a balanced and healthy childhood. Sabarish, a multi-talented student, writes from a place of authentic experience. His own life is a blend of intellectual and physical pursuits, from writing and reading nonfiction to practicing karate, yoga, and drawing.
The book addresses several key aspects of the debate:
– The Social and Physical Benefits of Outdoor Play: Highlighting the development of teamwork, resilience, and physical health.
– The Cognitive Advantages of Digital Games: Acknowledging their role in fostering problem-solving, strategic thinking, and creativity.
– The Path to Integration: Advocating for a mindful balance that leverages the benefits of both worlds.
Sabarish’s work is a prime example of BriBooks` mission to empower young writers to share their ideas globally. His book is now available, providing a timely and relatable resource for families navigating the challenges of screen time and active play.

Deafness and Hearing Loss: Safe Listening Tips
Loud sounds are part of daily life, but frequent exposure can cause irreversible hearing damage. Practicing safe listening protects your ears and prevents noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).
How Loud Sounds Affect Ears
Tiny sensory cells in the inner ear detect sound. Prolonged exposure to loud noises can cause temporary hearing loss or tinnitus. Repeated exposure can lead to permanent damage and difficulty hearing high-pitched sounds.
Safe Listening Guidelines
– Keep volume below 60% of device maximum.
– Use noise-cancelling headphones to reduce volume needs.
– Wear earplugs or earmuffs in loud environments.
– Limit listening time and take regular breaks.
– Monitor sound levels with apps or built-in phone features.
– Seek professional help if experiencing persistent ringing or hearing difficulties.
Sound Levels and Safe Listening Time
| Sound Level (dB) | Safe Time/Week | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 80 dB | 40 hours | Doorbell |
| 90 dB | 4 hours | Shouted conversation |
| 100 dB | 20 mins | Hair dryer |
| 110 dB | 2.5 mins | Shouting in ear |
| 120 dB+ | Dangerous | Sirens, firecrackers |
Tips for Gamers and Music Lovers
– Keep game or music volume below 60%.
– Take 10-minute breaks every hour.
– Prefer external speakers over headphones.
– Use devices or apps that limit volume and track exposure.
Final Thoughts
Noise-induced hearing loss is preventable. Practicing safe listening ensures you can enjoy music, games, and everyday sounds without damaging your ears. Listen safely to hear tomorrow.
