If you’re listening to your headphones for background noise, it can be hard to know when to take a break. Hearing damage is gradual, so it’s not glaringly obvious when to switch off. Deterioration of the peripheral hearing apparatus over time decreases input to the primary hearing centers of the brain. This then creates a vicious cycle of declining hearing capacity, worsening executive function, and increasing risk of dementia.
I wear headphones every day for many hours and I have been doing that for many years. It’s fine. I just try to make sure I don’t put the sound too loud such that it started hurting my ears I’d give me a headache. Also, I’ve found the AirPods Pro really great in this aspect, he noise cancellation feature is a blessing.
