Headphones and your Personal Health
Headphones are a cultural norm - no matter where you are, people utilizing them while exercising, commuting, studying or working.
Advances in technology have increased battery life and storage capacity resulting in users listening with headphones at loud decibels for prolonged periods of time. Headphone users' listening habits have audiologists alarmed. Younger people are exhibiting hearing loss normally found in older adults.
Prevention is essential to protecting your hearing. Below are five tips that can potentially reduce hearing loss:
- Decrease the volume.
- Utilize the volume limiter on your portable device (if applicable).
- Take five - give your ears a time out frequently.
- Never use your headphones to drown out background noise such as subway or city traffic.
- Invest in sound-isolating or noise-canceling headphones.

Sports headphones
Portable sports headphones are available in a variety of styles, but are always lightweight models and often fold down for easy storage. Models usually fetaure either standard vertical bands that arch over the head or horizontal designs that extend behind the head or neck. Sport headphones, which may have an ear clip or attachment in the place of a head- or neckband, also fall into this category. These headphones are almost always open-backed designs, with good reason: if you're jogging, the last thing you want to do is completely block out the ambient noise of the street around you. The upside of this type of headphone is that it usually stays put during running or jogging. However, a lot of stylish, slender headphone designs aren't all that durable, and some behind-the-neck designs exert higher-than-average amount of pressure on your ears.
