[Is It Okay to Use Earphones Like This?]

Earphones are often used when taking public transportation during commuting hours or at the gym while exercising.

While earphones are becoming more widely used because they can be used conveniently anywhere, did you know that they can have negative effects on our ears?

Let’s take a closer look with Seokplant Dental Hospital!!!

1. Hearing loss

When buses, subways, and other places are noisy during commuting hours, many of us have probably naturally turned up the volume on our earphones.

However, if this continues for a long time, it can cause ‘noise-induced hearing loss,’ so it is best to avoid using earphones in very noisy places if possible.

2. Otitis externa

Many people use earphones while exercising to listen to music or watch TV, and sweat naturally occurs as well.

However, if you use earphones at this time, sweat may flow into your ears and increase the risk of developing ‘otitis externa,’ so caution is advised.

3. Prevention methods

If you need to use earphones, it is recommended to use them for about 30 minutes, then rest for at least 10 minutes before using them again.

Also, if you use noise-canceling earphones to reduce the need to increase the volume while blocking out surrounding noise, you may be able to use earphones in a healthier way.
