  This symptom is normal!

  After the person put on the headset, the channel opening of the outer ear was tightly plugged by the headset, and was almost occluded.

The auditory nerve is stimulated abnormally, which can easily cause hearing fatigue. So after wearing headphones for a long time, Symptoms of ear pain!

  Whether or not wearing headphones can cause hearing impairment is controversial in current medical research, because the length of time and volume of each person's wearing are inconsistent, and effective observation and judgment cannot be made. But it is worth noting that if you listen to music for a long time without listening to ear care, it will affect your hearing. Compared with the loudspeaker, the earphone's vibrating plate is closer to the eardrum, although it is more pleasant, it also hurts the ear more directly. Although the design of earphones has almost always adopted "open" earphones to reduce hearing damage, long-term use of headphones can still cause damage, which may cause poor blood circulation, tinnitus, inner ear hair cell death, and even hearing nerve damage. In particular, some people turn up the volume of music and want to use it to offset external noise, which is even worse.

  Note

  Using headphones frequently will damage your ears. Generally speaking, you need to pay attention to the following principles when using headphones:

  1. Do not wear headphones for a long time

  2. Do not turn on the volume of the headset too much. If someone outside of you can't hear you clearly, you should lower the volume of the headset.

  3. Choose a comfortable headset.

  4. Choose good quality headphones, low noise, and adjustable volume.

  5. Do not listen with headphones for a long time, let your ears rest every half an hour, no more than three hours a day, the less the better.

  6. Do not listen while sleeping. Due to the influence of sleeping position, the pillow puts pressure on the earplugs, causing physical damage to the eardrum.

  In addition, earphones are closer to the eardrum than earphones, which stimulate the eardrum more directly and may have a greater impact on the ear.
