Overexposure to loud music for long durations can cause damage to the ear, resulting in temporary or permanent loss of hearing.

Listening to headphones or using ear buds can cause hearing loss, and teens are especially at risk. As the use of headphones becomes increasingly popular,

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) results from damage to cells or nerve fibers in the inner ear. It affects the auditory nerve, which carries sound signals to the brain. It can appear over time, occur suddenly, or be present from birth.

Hearing loss degree Hearing loss in decibels (dB HL)
slight 16–25
mild 26–40
moderate 41–55
moderately severe 56–70
severe 71–90
profound over 91

Symptoms
The symptoms of SNHL can be gradual or sudden.

Some symptoms include:

muffled sounds
difficulty understanding speech
gradual or sudden hearing loss
a full sensation in the ear
ringing in the ear
dizziness

PREVENTION
1. Turn down the volume · 2. Use noisecanceling headphones · 3. Wear actual headphones, not earbuds · 4. Take listening breaks · 5. Set a volume
