How to use headphones properly?

Headphones and especially quality Bluetooth headphones have helped a lot in human life. However, there is one thing that not everyone knows, using headphones too much, wearing them incorrectly, listening to too loud volume can be harmful to hearing and human health.

How using headphones can be dangerous

Listening to music too often or too loudly can cause the cochlea cells to lose their sensitivity to vibrations and cause hearing loss. Given enough time, these ear cells can recover, but if not, permanent damage can result.

Using headphones too much can have a negative effect on hearing.

Even using headphones at moderate volume levels can cause hearing problems if used excessively, says Dr. Smita Nagaonkar of Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital (Mumbai, India).

This is because the duration of exposure to noise is also harmful to the ears. In particular, hearing loss caused by excessive exposure to loud noise is irreversible, so prevention is paramount, according to the Times of India.

Headphones should be adjusted to no more than 60% of maximum volume.
