Causes and Prevention of hearing loss

It is okay to use the earphones occasionally while in a Zoom meeting, playing games, listening to songs, or talking to someone. But using it for a long time is not a good sign for your ears. Excessive use of earphones or headphones can prove to be dangerous for your ears. Due to this, you can become a victim of deafness, due to which you may have trouble hearing.

Overuse of earphones or headphones can damage your ears. The human ear has a hearing capacity of up to 90 decibels, and if you have been listening to songs at high volumes for a long time, your hearing may drop as low as 40 to 50 decibels. So listen to songs at low volume and instead of earphones, you should use headphones as they sound outside the ears.

Continuous use of poorly fitting earphones can cause pain in your ears. Also, due to the loud sound, your eardrums can be damaged.

Excessive use of earphones can lead to headaches, stress, and insomnia as it emits electromagnetic waves which can have a bad effect on your brain, causing you to complain of sleeplessness throughout the night. So avoid using earphones for a long time.

Using earphones can cause ear infections. This happens because of the dirt accumulated in the earphones. Therefore, do not use any other person's earphones and do not give earphones to other people for use. This puts the ear at risk of infection, which can cause swelling or pain.

  1. May cause damage to the heart
