Earbuds are basically a pair of tiny speakers that you wear inside your ears . And loud music playing that close to your eardrum can cause permanent hearing loss . So let us see that How Earbuds can Damage the Ears The ear is made up of three parts that work together to process sounds : the outer ear , the middle ear , and the inner ear . Part of the inner ear called the cochlea contains tiny hair cells . These hair cells help send sound messages to the brain . But loud noise can damage the hair cells . A small amount of damage will have little effect on your hearing . But repeated exposure to loud noise will continue to damage these hair cells , and eventually , the cochlea can't relay sound messages to the brain . The human ear can safely listen to sounds up to 70 decibels ( dB ) . An MP3 player at 70 % of its top volume is about 85 decibels . Turning thevolume up and listening for long periods of time can put you in real danger of permanent hearing loss . Beside this earbuds can also cause ear infection by creating favorable environment for bacteria and fungi . During earbuds put on the air cannot enter inside ear hence the ear canal remain moist which promotes bacterial growth . So how we can use Use Earbuds the Right Way ? Listen to the music at no more than 60 % of the maximum volume . Limit the amount of time you spend with earbuds in your ears to 60 minutes . Or simply Use Headphones Instead of Earbuds .
