Khaberni - The use of headphones has turned into a daily habit that many cannot do without, at home and outside, whether in transit or while exercising.
However, this intensive use has become an increasing danger to hearing health, especially when turning up the volume for long periods without awareness of the consequences.
Continuous exposure to loud sounds through headphones can lead to permanent damage to the delicate tissues inside the ear, causing health problems such as hearing loss and tinnitus, which often are untreatable and may worsen over time.
Experts warn that the damage is not always apparent in its early stages, which leads many to continue harmful habits without care.
Despite the spread of technical warnings issued by phones when exceeding safe sound levels, a considerable number of users frequently ignore these alerts, while others continue to increase the volume even after being asked to reduce it, especially among teenagers.
With increasing awareness of these risks, it is necessary to plan for preventive steps including lowering the volume and minimizing the use of headphones or undergoing regular hearing check-ups. Experts also recommend using noise-cancelling headphones, which allow clearer listening without the need to increase the volume in noisy environments.
