Yes long term use of this can lead to ear’s damage.
Chronic usage of headset or earbuds cause hearing loss and may cause bacterial infections.
Frequent and prolonged use of earbuds if operated at very high volumes, can actually lead to permanent hearing damage. This is because it can harm the cochlear hair cells that are responsible for sound detection and moreover these cells cannot regenerate once they are damaged. Anything if we are listening above 85 decibels for an extended time period, it increases the risk of hearing loss and this has been particularly observed in adolescents and young adults. Also, unlike over-ear headphones, earbuds generally fit much closer to our eardrum, and this amplifies the sound pressure levels and ultimately results in increased inner ear strain. Besides, frequent earbud use without apt cleaning methods can also increase the incidence of ear infections due to bacterial buildup/moisture retention.
Your ears are amazing, but they’re also delicate. And once your hearing is gone, it’s gone for good. So enjoy your music. But do it wisely. Because silence shouldn’t be the price you pay for sound.
Absolutely! Most people don’t realize that listening at high volumes for long periods can lead to Hearing Loss. Moderation and volume control are key. Our ears deserve care too!
It all depends on how loud and how long you use them. So on breakdown of the risks and how to stay safe here are the tips to Protect Your Ears-Listen at no more than 60% volume for no more than 60 minutes at a time, Use Noise-Canceling , Take Listening Breaks, Check for Safe Volume.
Using headphones too much or at high volume can hurt your ears. It can lead to hearing problems over time because the sound is too loud for your ears to handle. To protect your hearing, try not to turn up the volume too high or listen for too long without breaks. A good rule is to keep it at 60% of the max volume and take breaks every hour.
Using headphones can cause serious damage to our ears especially when used for long hours like hearing loss , ear pain ,ear infections
Yes, I’ve started thinking about this recently. Using headphones or earbuds at high volume for long time can really damage our ears. It can cause hearing loss, ringing sounds, and even permanent problems. I read that sounds above 85 dB can harm ear cells in just a few minutes. We should follow the 60/60 rule—60% volume for 60 minutes max. Better to enjoy music safely than regret later.
Prolonged use of earbuds havig high sound initially causes hearing loss then ear infection finally leads to chronic disorder of ear because it fits near to the ear drum
High volume and long time use can severely damage ears. Only use earbuds whenever it is necessary and with minimum volume.
Using it for long time will definitely affect ears
Ear buds can lead to damage , so use it wisely like when in a public place or need noise cancellation situation.
Avoid prolonged use.
Yes, we often forget that too much use of headphones or earbuds can really harm our ears. Listening at high volume for long hours can lead to hearing problems over time. It’s important to take breaks and keep the volume low.
Yes… this is a case that not many are bothered about. The usage of headphones with high decibel level is dangerous. 100-120 db is moderate to hear.
I experience pain while using earbuds or headphones for a long time.
Protecting our hearing should be a habit, not just an afterthought.
Constant exposure to loud sound levels can lead to noise-induced hearing loss, a condition that’s often permanent.
Using earbuds at high volume for extended hours can strain your ears, damage delicate hair cells in the inner ear, and even cause tinnitus — that annoying ringing or buzzing sound that won’t go away.
At first minor damage may be but with dialy usage in long run with high volume may lead to hearing disorders
If uses in excess volume and daily usage for long periods of time causes a lot of damage. We should use it only when it’s actually needed while travelling , gym and other reasons. If not controlled , it leads to hearing loss and other problems over time.
