Listening to music, watching dramas, playing games and exercising... There are too many scenes of wearing headphones in life. Headphones have become necessities of life, but did you know? Wearing earphones for a long time and improper use of earphones can cause different degrees of damage to the ears. Today, let’s talk about it~
How harmful is it to wearing earphones for a long time?
1. Causes hearing damage The inner ear hair cells located in the cochlea are the main "power generators" of the entire hearing system and transmit external sounds to the auditory nerve. The number of such cells is limited and belongs to "non-regenerative scarce resources". One is used less than one. Using headphones for a long time, hair cells will be forced to continue to "work", and long-term fatigue will cause irreversible hearing damage. 2. Cause ear diseases Wearing headphones for a long time, the air is not circulating, the ear holes and pinna are more likely to breed bacteria. Once the ear bacteria breed, it is not easy to find. When our ears start to respond, it may be too late. It is easy to cause inflammation of the eardrum, tinnitus , and cause hearing loss.
Is it all right if I don’t wear the headphones for a long time?
The volume of the headphones is too high.Under normal circumstances, a volume higher than 85 decibels is likely to cause auditory fatigue, and a volume higher than 110 decibels will cause the death of inner ear hair cells, leading to irreversible hearing damage. Many small partners like to wear headphones in a noisy environment. In this case, in order to hear the sound in the headphones, they will unconsciously increase the volume of the headphones, but they don't know that it is beyond the range of the ears.
So how to use headphones correctly?
1 Choose the appropriate headset. In a quiet environment, the safety of earphone styles can be divided into head-mounted type=semi-in-ear type>in-ear type; in a noisy environment, try not to use earphones. If you must use earphones, you can choose better quality noise reduction earphones .
2
Follow the "60-60 usage rule", that is, the headphone volume should not exceed 60% and the headphone usage time should not exceed 60 minutes at a time. Remember not to wear headphones to sleep.
3 Don’t keep increasing the volume of the headphones for clarity and sound quality.In noisy environments, it is recommended to use headset to meet the demand for sound quality.
4 Clean the earphone regularly to prevent bacteria from growing in the ear canal.
