Ear Safety Tips: It is very important to be careful while using earbuds and neck bands. Excessive use of these devices can reduce hearing ability.
With the growing technology, the use of audio devices like earbuds and neckbands has become common in our lives. In today's time, more than half of the population is seen enjoying their world with earbuds in their ears.
But do you know that excessive use of these devices can damage your ears? According to ENT specialist Dr. Rakesh Verma, continuous use of these devices at high volumes can lead to hearing loss and even deafness.
Why is it dangerous?
Dr. Verma explains that today's youth are constantly connected to their mobile phones and listen to music or watch videos using earbuds or neckbands. But using these devices at high volume and for a long time puts pressure on the eardrum and gradually the hearing ability starts decreasing. Apart from this, the use of these devices also increases the risk of ear infections.
Louder sound is harmful to the eardrum
Studies show that sound above 130 decibels is harmful to the ears. Most earbuds and neckbands produce sound at this level. Apart from this, the bass used in these devices can also damage the eardrum.
Safety Tips
- Always keep the volume of earbuds or neckbands low.
- Do not use these devices for several hours continuously.
- Always use your own earbuds to prevent spreading infection.
- Give your ears some rest during the day.
- Keeping the ears clean reduces the risk of infection.
- Headphones put less pressure on the ears than earbuds.
