Patient's question:
I am 15 years old, and I listen to MP3s every day, using earbuds. I am worried that this will lead to hearing loss or even deafness. Hello doctor, what should I do? The kind of assistance I need: Can I continue listening in this way? Or do you have any suggestions? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Your concern is entirely justified. If you use headphones to listen to MP3s for a long time, it may lead to inflammation in your ears and interfere with your hearing.Recommendation: It is suggested that you use the speaker function to listen to MP3s instead of headphones. Avoid using headphones for extended periods, and if you must use them, keep the volume at a much lower level.
The above advice is for the question "Does long-term use of headphones cause hearing loss?" We hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
