Loud music through headphones can damage the inner ear and cause hearing loss. On an Apple iPhone, the maximum volume while wearing headphones is equal to 102 decibels. This means that hearing damage can occur after listening to just a few songs at this range. Even at lower ranges, it's easy to be within unsafe levels.
How do you use earphones without damaging your ears?
- use noise-cancelling earphones or headphones – do not just turn the volume up to cover up outside noise.
- turn the volume up just enough so you can hear your music comfortably, but no higher.
Are earphones bad for ears?
Headphones that go over your ears can also damage your hearing if you use them too long or play music too loudly. They're just not as much of a risk as earbuds are: Having the source of the sound in your ear canal can increase a sound's volume by 6 to 9 decibels — enough to cause some serious problems.
