Does the earphone belt hurt your ears?

Long-term use of headphones will inevitably affect hearing, leading to hearing loss, but due to the different length of time and volume of personal use of headphones, the degree of influence is also different.

"The frequency range of sound waves that the human ear can generally feel is 20-20000 Hz. Hearing is sensitive to sound wave frequency of 500- 1000 Hz and insensitive to noise of 2000-4000 Hz. Long-term use of headphones will damage hearing in high-frequency sound waves (2000-4000 Hz). So even if the hearing is impaired, it is difficult for us to detect it. When it is detected, the hearing damage is already very serious, which may cause noise deafness. "

Can hearing loss be cured?

The degree of injury is different, and the chances of cure are different. Hearing loss is just a fatigue phenomenon at first. If the damage is slight and found in time, hearing can be recovered as long as you get out of this environment, minimize the number of times you use headphones, avoid noise, or use drugs (such as drugs to improve microcirculation, hormones, neurotrophics, etc.). ) for treatment. However, if the hearing loss is long and severe, accompanied by obvious symptoms, it will be difficult to recover, and even cause irreversible hearing loss.

How to judge whether your hearing is impaired?

The process of hearing loss is relatively slow, which is generally difficult to find. Once found, it may be too late. Because high-frequency injury is not within people's sensitive range, people who use headphones in noisy environment for a long time should go to the hospital for professional testing to check whether their hearing is damaged. If you feel that your ears can't stand hearing loud sounds, you are sensitive to sounds, or you feel that you can't hear clearly, but you don't know what it means, then your hearing loss may be serious and you need to go to a hospital for professional examination and treatment.

How to protect your hearing? Modern people often use headphones, so it is particularly important to protect their hearing. The following points should be noted:

Don't use headphones for too long, control them within one hour, and let your ears relax properly in a quiet environment after use;

You can choose headphones with good sound insulation effect. If the outside noise is very loud, people will unconsciously increase the volume in order to hear the sound in the headphones clearly. The louder the volume, the more serious the damage to the inner ear. Therefore, try not to listen to music with headphones in a noisy environment. It is recommended to control the volume at 60% or below.
