What are the effects of using headphones to listen to music every day on your ears?

Patient's question:

No symptoms for the time being

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you often listen to music with headphones, it may cause hearing damage. Due to the long-term continuous effect, it can lead to abnormal function of the cochlear hair cells, resulting in hearing loss. This is often manifested as high-frequency hearing damage, and early-stage patients may not notice it. By the time you truly feel your hearing has declined, the best opportunity for treatment has already been missed.
Advice: If you continuously listen to music with headphones, have your hearing checked to see if there are any high-frequency abnormalities. If there are, it is recommended to avoid it.
