Listening to music through headphones has become a common part of everyday life. But a custom that seems harmless can have long - term consequences.
World Health Organization, WHO, warns that hearing sounds with high intensity for long periods can harm sensitive inner ear cells.
The problem is that damage doesn't always appear immediately.
A person may continue to listen normally to everydayity while exposure to noise is causing gradual problems.
According to WHO, a practical safeguard is keeping the volume below 60 percent of its maximum level.
The organisation also recommends regular breaks during hearing and the use of headphones that isolate external noise.
The noise - aborted areas may be helpful because they reduce the need to increase volume in noisy environments.
The danger is not limited to music. Electronic games, concerts and loud environments can also contribute to hearing damage.
Signs like buzz in the ears, difficulty in understanding conversations, or feeling weakened hearing should not be overlooked.
Experts recommend hearing control when constant symptoms arise.
The main message is simple: Listening can be protected today, but damage caused by excessive exposure to noise can be irreversible.
