How to use headphones without damaging your ear?

Listening to headphones for excessive time is very harmful to your ear if not using properly. Here are some ways to wear headphones without hurting your ears:

Over-ear headphones spread the pressure around your ear, while on-ear and in-ear headphones can apply pressure to your ear canal.

Volume: Â Listening to music or other content at high volumes can cause damage to hearing over time. It’s also a good idea to keep the volume at 60% or less, and to take breaks in between to give your ears a break.

Take breaks: If you’re wearing headphones for a long period of time, take regular breaks to give your ears a break. Also, as a general rule, try to get at least 5-10 minutes of break time every hour.

How do I wear headphones without damaging my ears?

Clean your earphones: Having clean earphones can help you from getting ear infections or other problems. Wipe your headphones clean with a soft, dry cloth and never use paints, solvents, alcohol or corrosive liquids such as water to clean them.

Invest in noise-cancelling headphones: These can help decrease the one-up man ship of increasing the volume in order to drown out external noise. This can help to prevent the damaging of your ear.

If you are wearing headphones for a long period of time, take a break and let your ears have a break.

If you follow these steps, you can listen to music or any other audio through headphones without putting your ears at risk.
