Tips for safe listening using headphones and earbuds
The popularity of music streaming apps and smartphones means that music is now more portable than ever and we can listen anytime, anywhere. Most people listen at safe levels – they keep the volume down and limit their listening time to less than a few hours a week. If that’s you, great!

Noise Induced Hearing Loss
What is noise-induced hearing loss?
Every day, we experience sound in our environment, such as the sounds from television and radio, household appliances, and traffic. Normally, these sounds are at safe levels that don’t damage our hearing. But sounds can be harmful when they are too loud, even for a brief time, or when they are both loud and long-lasting. These sounds can damage sensitive structures in the inner ear and cause noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). - NIDCD
