My teenage son is always listening to loud music from his “earbuds” as he calls them. These are right in his ears. Is this dangerous?
Great question.Yes, having loud music played directly into the ears can cause multiple problems including high frequency hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). Until manufacturers make safer products that limit the volume that can be played from these earphones, you should tell your son about the danger, and ask him to not listen with the volume quite so loud.
