Technology is improving day by day all over the world. Also our life is becoming comfortable and sometimes risky. Nowadays we use headphones everywhere. It has become a fashion to listen to music with headphones even while out on the streets.
But this blessing of science can sometimes become a cause of harm. It can even cause death. Headphones are also one such technology that can cause several physical harms due to use. This small gadget is used by everyone, but we are not aware of its side effects and harmful aspects. Today let's know about the side effects of headphones.
Hearing complications may occur
Hearing complications may occur due to the use of headphones. When you use headphones or earphones, the audio goes directly to your ears. Noise levels of 90 decibels or more can damage your hearing. You may even lose your hearing permanently. Not only that, just 15 minutes of using earphones at 100 decibels can damage your hearing.
An infection or inflammation of the ear may occur
A headphone should only be used by one person. But we share one earphone with more than one person, two together. This leaves the possibility of ear infection. The reason is that one person's ear germs can be transmitted to others through earphones. So never share earphones. Disinfectant must be used before use.
Can have adverse effects on the brain
Headphones can have bad effects on your brain. Electromagnetic waves generated by headphones can be extremely dangerous for your brain. People who use Bluetooth headphones are at even greater risk. The ear is directly connected to the brain. That's why experts say that headphones directly hit your brain.
Blocks air flow
It blocks air flow. Currently, some earphones have excellent sound, but their health risks are very high. These earphones often enter the aircanal. This prevents air from entering your ear. Due to which the possibility of infection remains.
Hearing inertia increases
Some studies have shown that the use of earphones increases hearing loss. It is known that those who listen to loud music using earphones gradually get deafness in their ears. While this tinnitus may seem normal, listening to loud music for long periods of time can cause hearing loss.
Ears may hurt
Using earphones can cause earache. People who use extra headphones usually suffer from such problems. Sometimes there is a buzzing sound inside the ear. This is also detrimental to sustainability.
