is ear buds,
like these, photograph by Pixabay.com, apparently in certain circumstances they can make you deaf! it works like this, Dr.
Tian Huiji, director of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Asia
University Hospital, in Taiwan, warned people against using earbuds and
headphones to expose their ears to loud sounds while they’re sleeping, Dr
Huiji explained that even though some people wear earbuds and headphones for
hours on end virtually every day without experiencing sudden deafness, doing
the same thing while sleeping is much more dangerous,
when we fall asleep, blood circulation in our body slows
down, so while the hair cells in our ears are still stimulated by sounds coming
out of the earbuds/headphones, the body cannot supply enough blood to them,
which can result in sudden deafness, according to the director of the Department of
Otorhinolaryngology, earbuds are particularly dangerous, because they don’t
allow any of the sound to escape outside, padded headphones and earhook
headphones are a safer choice, as they allow some of the sound to dissipate,
but the volume at which sound is played is important as well, as a rule, Dr.
Huiji advises against using any type of earphones or earbuds during sleep and
also giving your ears a 10-minute break after every 50 minutes of using these
hearing accessories during the day, for the full story of a recently
reported the case of a student who fell asleep while listening to music with
earbuds on and woke up completely deaf in one ear, have a look here, I did not like ear buds before this, and definitely do not like them now!
