“‘The noise is much louder than I ever thought it would be,’ said Gary Newell, who says he is using portable fans and ear plugs to drown out the noise of the turbine while he sleeps. ‘It awakens you.’

“Within three days” of the turbines starting up in June 2006, “we started having noise problems.” So begins the testimony by Mrs. Jane Davis—nurse midwife, child development specialist, and holder of a Masters degree in medical administration.
“At first we thought it was due to my job. My doctor told me to try Advil, Motrin, and gave me Tylenol 3 when they get bad. People at work thought I was crazy taking at least 3-4 pills every day for the pain. But, come March of 2009, I was laid off and thought, ‘Great, now my headaches will stop!’
“But was I wrong; they continue today.
“I am not the only one in our house affected by these wind turbines. My husband has been showing signs of memory loss. He has been experiencing headaches also, and I don’t recall him ever getting headaches [in the past]. And we both have been feeling more depressed then [with] day to day living, and can’t understand why.”

“I had no health problems previously,” says a somewhat sleepless Jessica Nuhn. “I’m a registered nurse—a critical care nurse. I’ve got my bachelor’s degree and I know about health. Since the turbines have been spinning, I’ve had headaches….The noise has kept me up at night, the noise gives me headaches, the noise crushes my sinuses.” Nuhn says she’s never had sinus problems before, and now she sees floating spots, for which she’s seeing a doctor. “I’ve never had headaches and now I do,” she said.

“If you have ever felt a cement truck while the drum is mixing, this is the best way we can describe the feeling we are experiencing.”
