Many people are now worried about hearing loss caused by wearing headphones for a long time. In fact, one of the direct culprits that cause our hearing damage is not these headphones, but the higher and higher volume behind them. A “loudness war” that started in the 1980s is enough to illustrate the problem.
Dangers of too much volume
When whales hear loud volumes, they reduce their hearing sensitivity to protect their hearing. But humans are just the opposite. Subconsciously, we are all more attracted to loud volume and loudness. Just like the reason why many people think Chinese suona is the king of musical instruments, it is precisely because its loudness will strongly attract people’s attention. Sound, not just a physical phenomenon, is also a sense and perception when it encounters humans. When people realized this and applied it to music, the “Loudness Wars” began.
In the 1980s, records and radio stations pushed music as loud as possible to attract audiences. In other words, they tried to turn all the instruments in the music into suonas. While ears become more and more tired, listeners continue to move away from low volume, because turning it down makes us feel lost. But when you turn up the sound louder and louder, the hearing hair cells are like the hair on your head that you can’t keep, and they are retreating in defense battles. The hearing damage caused by this, whether it is traditional Audio, headphones, or bone conduction headphones are unavoidable. Even if the whales cover their ears, they still can’t escape the loud volume released by us humans. Moaning, getting lost, and running aground are frequently staged all over the world.
Tips for Protecting Your Hearing
If you want to protect your hearing, no matter what headphones you use, first resist the temptation of loud volume like a whale. Keep the music in your headphones at about 60% of the maximum volume, or below 80 decibels. At the same time, we take off the earphones every 30 minutes of use and let our ears rest for 5 minutes.
Advice on choosing headphones
If you were to ask me, which one would I choose between bone conduction headphones and other headphones? I think that the stability and openness of bone conduction earphones may be the best choice for people who love sports or patients with ear canal inflammation, but they may also leak sound. In an environment with excessive noise, noise-canceling headphones in traditional headphones can not only guarantee sound quality to a certain extent, but also have the advantage of protecting hearing based on the principle of active noise reduction. So the final choice still depends on your own needs.
