A History of Ear Buzz and Hearing Loss by Using Earphone

 

Hearing Loss has become an increasing problem in younger generations exposed to technologies such as the earphone. The main issue is the nearness of the speaker from one's ear canal, which is about and inch. The other facter is how loud and long in duration people of modern day use earphones top listen to music and other activities privately. Studys have shown that hearing loss has increased by 33 percent since 1994. One in five teenagers cannot distinguish cerntain consinents like T's or K's as well as quit noises like rain drops. A European study in 2008 discovered that people who listen to headphones or earphones for more than one hour at high volume will risk having permenant hearling loss after five years. Since we are in a generation where earphones are commonly used, this is a problem that can severely affect us. If this damage continues, we will have generations of people in the future who will lose their hearing at ages that get younger and younger.
