From the subway to the bus, from the classroom to the road
Whether adults or children
Wearing headphones has become a common phenomenon
Well, the problem is coming:
Does wearing headphones long-term affect hearing?
There are so many different types of headphones, how do we choose?
Long-term wear of headphones can cause tinnitus, ear swell, and hearing loss. In severe cases, headaches, nausea and other symptoms may occur. In the long run, it is also prone to abnormal attention and lack of concentration, slow thinking, memory loss, and even irritability, lack of patience and other abnormal psychological and emotional reactions.
First, the most obvious is the impact of hearing
Most of the causes of the hazards are caused by improper use of the headphones.
Volume is open to infinity
Isn't wearing headphones to shield everything from noise? If you don`t open a big sound, how do you feel the sound of the sound waves? So the more noisy the place, the louder the volume will be. When the ear is subjected to excessive sound for a long time, it will inevitably cause hearing loss.
In general, the volume that our ears can withstand is limited.
"
More than 60 decibels is a noisy range, 70 decibels will begin to damage the hearing nerves, more than 90 decibels will make the hearing impaired, and stay in the space of 100-120 decibels, if there is no accident, we will be temporary for one minute. Deafness (to the deaf).
"Use headphones for a long time"
The music is too good, and the headphones are hard to pick off. Therefore, I can't help but immerse myself in music. Although hearing changes are not detected for a while, the damage is gradual.
"
Our ears, like other senses, also have specialized hearing "receptors" - ciliated cells in the cochlea. The reason we can hear the sound is because the susceptor is stimulated, and the cilia oscillate as the sound vibrates. Once the cilia swings too much, the excessive stimulation will lead to a decrease in cilia sensitivity, which is inevitable.
"It's like sometimes suddenly hearing a loud blast, or a short "explosion" after a long stay in a KTV, bar, or nightclub.
Second, it will cause some inflammation
Most of it is caused by the headphones being too dirty.
Headphones never clean
Many people think that headphones are used by themselves, and there is no need to be dirty. There is no need to clean anything. In fact, headphones are also very easy to hide, such as deafness, dead skin cells and a lot of bacteria. The headphones are carefully smashed, is it disgusting to yourself?).
In most cases, it will not affect you, but when your immunity is poor, it may cause inflammation and infection of your ears.
Share a pair of headphones
Sometimes we will share the headset for a friend or a lover, or use a pair of headphones. This will not only bring bacteria from other people's ears into their ears, but also double the bacteria, induce infections in the ear, and sometimes induce skin infections and even more serious systemic diseases.
Scared me, I quickly took off my headphones.
Nonsense, the volume of my listening song is very small!
The little friends are going to ask.
How to listen to the song and protect your hearing?
Listening to music with headphones is a pleasure
Can pass the time, but also relieve stress
So how do you not give up wearing headphones?
So that hearing is not damaged?
01 Choose the right place to wear headphones
Don't wear it in a place with a particularly noisy environment. For example, in the subway, the subway is a closed space, so the ears will be under certain pressure, and then the headphones are tightly pressed into the ear, which may cause damage to the hair cells of the ear and even cause noise deafness.
If there is no way, use headphones to isolate the noise and buy a design with advanced ergonomic protection!
02 adhere to the "60-60" principle
The volume of death and death makes you very embarrassed, but the inner ear hair cells are slowly being killed by you. Otherwise, you will wait for the future... money is taken to buy a hearing aid...
One principle worth recommending is the "60-60" principle: when people use headphones, the volume should not be too large. It is recommended not to exceed 60% of the maximum volume. You can also adjust the volume to lower according to your own situation, as long as Be sure to hear it clearly. In addition, the use of headphones continuously should not exceed 60 minutes.
03 Regularly disinfect the headphones
It is recommended to disinfect the headphones once a week. You can use a good quality wipe, or use a disinfectant spray, or wipe with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. When disinfecting, be sure to clean all waxy residue.
04 Do not wear headphones while sleeping
Because the pillow is likely to be an accomplice - the earplugs are tighter and the impact of the sound on the tympanic membrane is increased. Moreover, if you listen to the music and fall asleep, your ears are dormant, and the damage will be more obvious.
Therefore, when picking up the headphones, you should also pay attention to choosing the one that suits you.
About the selection of headphones
The most common earphones on the market are:
In-ear type: sealed and sealed, strong sound insulation, is the best choice for you.
Earbuds: comfortable to wear, poor sound insulation, suitable for use in quieter environments.
Head-mounted: The sound field is good and the comfort is good, but some headphones have a low bass effect and are not convenient to carry. Suitable for gamers, as well as customer service staff.
Ear-hook type: earphones hung on the ear, earphone type and earphone type, which are relatively firm to wear, but the sound insulation is relatively poor.
Rear-mounted: The wear is firmer and the sound quality is usually more general. More suitable for sports.
To say that these five kinds of headphones are more harmful to hearing, there is no comparable. Relatively speaking, it is mainly a matter of volume and listening time.
