The earphone family love ear protection method

Introduction: The ear is an important organ of perception, but also a more fragile human organs, long-term wear headphones will have a certain impact on the hearing. Earphone people love ear protection method, I hope the article can help you these earphone people. To learn to use scientifically.

1. Choose a good quality, small noise, the volume can be freely and flexibly adjusted headphones, once encountered in the case of excessive sound can be adjusted in a timely manner, and to ensure that wearing comfortable.

2. Usually do not wear headphones for a long time, every hour to take a break, the best music sound can be controlled at 80 decibels or less, in order to feel comfortable and pleasant to the ear as appropriate; each person is sensitive to the degree of noise is different, the crowd of about 5% for the susceptibility to noise, such people should pay special attention to noise protection.

3. Do not lie in bed before going to bed wearing headphones to listen to music, due to the impact of sleeping posture, pillow pressure on the earplugs, it is easy to produce physical damage to the external auditory canal, you can choose to sit or pacing to listen to music for a while before going to bed.

4. Often use disinfectant wipes or cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to wipe the headphones, and avoid using in-ear headphones with others*** to prevent infection.

5. Avoid using headphones to listen to music or make phone calls in noisy places such as roaring machines, noisy vehicles, and noisy people.

6. More people who use headphones, you can often massage around the ear, can increase blood circulation in the ear, there is a role in protecting hearing.

Hearing damage includes:

① ear canal lesions, such as otitis media;

② damage to the tympanic membrane, such as tympanic membrane rupture;

③ Neurological deafness, including the cochlea, the auditory nerve, and certain pathologies of the auditory center.

Ear canal lesions

First of all, the physical damage caused by headphones, mainly caused by violent pulling or squeezing when wearing headphones, but also partly due to long-term wear of in-ear earplugs that do not fit and the outer ear canal friction caused by the damage, if you do not pay attention to the inflammation may develop, affecting the hearing.

Secondly, due to the bacterial infection on the surface of the headset, headset ear cushions are mainly composed of fabric, leather and other materials, direct contact with the skin, sweat, oil may penetrate into the ear cushions, it is easy to breed bacteria, long-term use will not only induce ear skin inflammation, but also may cause the inflammation of the external auditory canal, the in-ear headset, if you don't pay attention to clean up the more likely to cause inflammation of the ear canal.

In addition, headphones are often used for long periods of time to listen to loud music, but also easy to cause chronic otitis media.

Damage to the eardrum

The impact of headphones on the eardrum is mainly in the conductive to the eardrum of the sound pressure, when the headphones volume is very large, directly on the eardrum caused by the volume of the pressure and lead to hearing loss. Wearing headphones for a long time, the pressure in the ear canal increases, which may also cause the tympanic membrane to invade. Suddenly turn on the huge burst of sound may produce great damage to the eardrum, pay attention to the first boot, adjust the volume, and then wear the headphones. In addition, wearing in-ear earplugs, the ear canal to form a closed cavity, headphones and the eardrum are the two ends of this cavity. If you pull the headphones quickly, the volume of the cavity will become larger, the air pressure becomes smaller, the force will finally be transferred to the eardrum, the eardrum is one of the most fragile 'part of the human body, such action may cause permanent instrumental damage to the eardrum. Therefore, don't pull violently on your friend's headphones. In a crowded place, try not to use in-ear headphones, someone else a small action (such as headphone cables hanging onto someone else's bag) caused by pulling, it may damage the eardrum.

Neurological hearing loss

Frequent prolonged use of headphones is easy to cause damage to the inner ear helix, auditory nerve fibers and blood vessels, resulting in neurological hearing loss, which is also the main cause of hearing damage. The degree of damage depends mainly on the use of headphones time and volume, research shows that the human ear long-term exposure to ultra-low and ultra-high sound, it is easy to cause damage to the hearing. Some music enthusiasts are accustomed to increasing the volume, believing that they can hear more details, which is an even greater threat to hearing. On the way to and from work, the subway or car driving sound usually reaches 80 decibels, in such an environment wearing headphones to listen to songs, will unconsciously increase the volume to ? cover? noise, when the volume may reach 100 decibels.

Some young people also like to wear headphones to listen to music before going to bed, and unknowingly fell asleep, the whole night is not turned off, too large or light persistent sound long-term stimulation of the human ear, may lead to cochlear microcirculation disorders and cause the cochlea is responsible for feeling the sound of the hair cells and spiral nerve damage, ultimately leading to tinnitus and noise deafness.
