Cautions in the Use of Headphones

 

Because headphones are closer to inner ear tissue than normal external noise, users have to take necessary protective measures. Studies have shown that pleasant music causes less hearing damage, but long-term exposure to high decibels of sound, whether music or noise, can cause hearing damage. Noise-induced sensory nerve hearing impairment occurs in the inner ear. When high-energy acoustic waves oscillate the fluid in the cochlea, they overstimulate and cause hair cell death. Hearing impairment is a cumulative process. If noise is exposed to for a long time, it will cause hearing loss even if the time is very short.

 

A survey published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998 and experiments at Shanxi Medical University in China showed that exposure to high noise levels for a long time had a negative impact on hearing.

 

When using headphones in the street, besides hearing impairment caused by increasing the volume, concentrating on listening to music can easily cause users to lose their alertness to peripheral sounds and increase the chance of occurrence of danger.
