βConstant use of AirPods and earphones at high volumes can cause Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) and this type of hearing loss is permanent and irreversible.
βWhen you are exposed to loud sounds for long periods, the tiny hair cells in your inner ear become damaged. Once these cells are destroyed, they do not grow back. This means the hearing loss cannot be reversed.
βIn addition, wearing AirPods or earphones for extended periods can trap moisture, sweat, and bacteria inside the ear canal and prevent the earβs natural self-cleaning process. This increases the risk of:
ββοΈ Ear infections
ββοΈ Irritation and inflammation
ββοΈ Wax buildup and blockage
