Why listening to music on headphones is dangerous: worth thinking about
We invite you to remember the last time you could do without headphones. If you can't do it, then it's time to think about it.
The analysis showed that high noise levels in headphones can cause hearing loss in the future.
Children, teenagers and young people are at risk. This is due to the fact that they are the ones who most often listen to music that is too loud (over 70 decibels).
Because the sound coming from the headphones is very close to the eardrum, it creates an abnormal situation for our ears.
The middle ear amplifies quiet sounds while reducing the volume of loud sounds. Regular use of headphones causes muscle fatigue and stops protecting the inner ear. Loud sounds damage the hair apparatus of the inner ear and reduce hearing acuity.
According to the WHO, approximately 50% of people aged 12 to 35 are at risk of hearing loss due to prolonged and excessive exposure to loud sounds.
However, many people underestimate the seriousness of the problem, as they assume that age is the cause of hearing loss.
Therefore, they should be reminded that significant hearing loss is not associated with normal, healthy aging.
According to scientists, by the age of 40, today's youth may begin to experience hearing problems similar to those faced by their grandparents in their 70s and 80s.
