Ever wondered why you sometimes find it difficult to hear your family,friends and colleagues when you are being spoken to even when they are in close proximity to you. The problem might not reside with them but with you,specifically your hearing.

Headphones/Earbuds induced hearing loss.

We all enjoy listening to our favourite music using it as a cool way to kill time while going about our daily activities .
Unfortunately for us time is not the only thing being killed here ,our eardrums down to the inner ear are unwitting casualties of the constant and increased barrage of sounds exceeding 90 decibels to the ears following which there is a short term hearing loss ultimately over time leading to permanent hearing loss.

Group of people who are most often affected by this are teenagers with their penchant for listening to music at the loudest of volumes for hours on end.

Another disadvantage of the headphones is that it closes you off from your environment making you susceptible and oblivious to impending danger.Lots of people have lost their lives or have gotten injuries from the seemingly harmless use of the device.

Earphone Good Usage

1.To avoid all these unpleasantness associated with hearing loss.It is advised to practice the 60/60 rule that is listen to music with volume less than 60% and take frequent breaks from them every 60min doing this safeguards your hearing from permanent damage .

2.It's also a good idea to invest in a good noise cancelling headphones as the name implies .it advertises its ability to cancel out outside noise making it unnecessary to turn up the volume past 50% .

3.Saving the best for last.An earphone has been invented by Stephen Andrew that claims to protect,preserve and even restores hearing function.It comes with a patented technology that absorbs and relieves the eardrums from the considerable pneumatic pressure created by sound waves while giving a richer audio experience.
