For many people, it's the most relaxing time of the day to go home after a tired day, take a bath, put on headphones and listen to soothing music.
But in fact, wearing headphones to sleep is not a good habit. Once the earplugs are too tight, or the headphones compress the ear canal when sleeping on the side, it is easy to cause ear pain. Especially once the earplug is sandwiched between the pillow and the ear, it will cause damage to the tympanic membrane. For a long time, it will naturally damage our hearing.
At present, in real life, there are not many cases of ear damage caused by listening to music and sleeping with headphones:
In fact, the most elaborate structure of human evolution is the ear.
The ear can not only let people hear the sound, but also the special muscles in the ear can adjust and buffer the sound to make the sound gentle and friendly. For example, when encountering sharp treble, this ingenious adjustment can well protect hearing.
If you sleep and wear headphones, the sound pressure will be relatively large when the sound directly enters the ear from the headphones, and the muscles in the ear need to be adjusted continuously. Over time, the muscles are easy to become tired, resulting in the decline of regulation, which is easy to cause damage to the inner ear. The impact of ear injury is not limited to hearing loss, auditory allergy, tinnitus, decline in language acceptance ability and speech signal discrimination, but also neurological symptoms such as headache, dizziness, insomnia, depression, slow response and easy excitement; Even gastrointestinal peristalsis and gastric secretion dysfunction lead to digestive system symptoms; And cardiovascular symptoms such as accelerated heart rate, elevated blood pressure and arrhythmia, which are very harmful to health.
Some people say they may say: I'll just listen to low pitched music~
In fact, even moderate and soothing music will cause damage to the ears. Over time, not only the ears will hurt, but also the hearing may decline.
Therefore, it is suggested that everyone should give up the habit of wearing headphones before going to bed. If you really want to listen, put down your headphones and play directly in speaker mode or speaker. Of course, if you can choose the timed shutdown function, it would be best.
In addition, during the day, if we wear headphones to listen to music, it is recommended to follow the "60-60 principle", that is, when using headphones, the volume should not exceed 60% and the use time should not exceed 60 minutes. It is recommended that you take off your headphones every hour and rest for 15 minutes. Don't wear headphones for more than 3 hours a day.
