ENT doctors: Long hours of earphones use is risky
The ENT specialists are high recommending to avoid the usage of head phones for long hours because of the alarmingly increasing cases of loss of hearing. It is very important to remember that the deafness doesn’t warn you like loss of eyesight before but hits you all of sudden. It begins to affect you even before you know it.
As per studies, nearly 5% of the world population are suffering from disabling hearing loss currently. Hearing difficulty is also a problem for factory workers, traffic police on duty, sales people and others, who spend most of the time with earphones plugged in their ears.
However, loss of hearing and related ear diseases can be avoided through preventive actions. Doctors advice people (who use earphones most of the day) to get hearing checked up at least once a year to prevent worsening their hearing condition.
