The damage to the ear caused by wearing headphones every day may lead to various types of otitis externa, sensorineural deafness, tinnitus and other diseases.
1. Otitis externa: after the headphones continue to close the external ear canal for a long time, it can cause mechanical compression of the ear canal skin and subcutaneous tissue, causing local pain. Obstruction of the ventilation mechanism of the external auditory canal can lead to moisture in the deep part of the ear canal, increasing the risk of bacterial and fungal reproduction. Diffuse otitis externa and fungal otitis externa may occur.
2. Sensorineural deafness, tinnitus: too long or too loud using headphones, can be due to adverse acoustic stimulation, damage to the inner ear hair cells, short-term and light damage or reversible, but long-term or heavier oscillatory damage can be caused by permanent sensorineural deafness, cranial brain loss of effective auditory stimulation, auditory centers and nerves will be compensated for the abnormal discharge, the formation of neural tinnitus.
Wearing headphones every day, although there are many chances of ear damage, but if you can scientifically and reasonably use headphones, not only can you get the required listening experience, but also to avoid the possibility of disease.
