Will wearing headphones for a long time damage hearing
Long time wearing doesn't necessarily affect hearing. It depends on the volume of your headphones.
People's ears will lose hearing if they listen to loud voice for a long time. The general limit value is 90 dB. Because the earphone's pronunciation unit is very close to the eardrum, when the volume is reached, the damage to the ears will be more serious.
The ear is adaptive and can adjust the sensitivity according to the ambient volume. That is to say, the larger the external volume is, the louder the earphone will have to play a larger sound to be able to hear clearly. Therefore, most of the excessive sound occurs when listening to music outdoors.
There are two solutions:
1. Don't listen to headphones in noisy environments.
2. Limit the volume of the mobile phone or music player (if the device has this function).
Besides, sometimes earphones can protect the ears. For example, if you wear an earphone with good airtightness or a headset with good airtightness when the music is loud, it can effectively isolate the external sound. This is more common in foreign countries, for example, loggers will wear earphones or earplugs to protect their ears. We haven't paid much attention to noise pollution in China, and the awareness of protection is relatively indifferent.
