How Frequent Headphone Use Can Damage Your Ears | Dr. Shantanu Tandon | Sakra World Hospital

Dr. Shantanu Tandon, HOD and Senior Consultant in ENT at Sakra World Hospital, discusses the impact of frequent headphone use, especially at high volumes, and how it can harm your ears. In-ear headphones, which don’t fully block external noise, often lead to increased volume levels, potentially damaging the inner ear and causing nerve degeneration over time. Over-ear headphones, being better at noise cancellation, allow for listening at lower volumes, reducing the risk.

However, it’s crucial to limit listening duration, regardless of the type of headphones. Prolonged use can result in temporary hearing loss or even permanent damage if ignored. If you experience a ringing in your ears or a blocked sensation, it could be due to excessive sound exposure from earphones. Reduce your reliance on earphones and keep your ears healthy and safe.
