Deafness may occur when wearing headphones for a long period of time, but the specific situation varies depending on the volume and other factors, and cannot be generalized.
Generally, wearing headphones for a short period of time will not cause deafness, but if you wear headphones for a long period of time with a high volume, it may cause damage to the hair cells on the basilar membrane in the cochlea, resulting in irreversible hearing loss.
If you wear headphones for a long time and the volume is high, it may cause the cochlea to be affected by prolonged noise, which constantly stimulates the auditory nerve, causing damage to the auditory nerve, leading to lesions of the auditory nerve and impeding the transmission of sound information, which will lead to the phenomenon of deafness.
In daily life, you should avoid using headphones for a long time, and during use, you should avoid excessive volume to prevent damage to the nerves in the ear, especially when you sleep, you should avoid wearing headphones. Keep your ears clean and clean them regularly. Avoid picking and scratching the ear to prevent infection.
Once hearing loss occurs in daily life, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination in time.
