Anything above 85 decibels (about the volume of heavy traffic) can cause hearing loss over time.
✔ Ringing in the ears (Tinnitus) ✔ Muffled sounds after listening to music ✔ Needing to increase volume frequently
Long exposure to loud music weakens the tiny hair cells in your ears, leading to permanent hearing loss over time.
✔ Follow the 60/60 rule – 60% volume for no more than 60 minutes at a time ✔ Use noise-canceling headphones to avoid blasting volume ✔ Take listening breaks
✔ Over-ear headphones (safer than earbuds) ✔ Volume-limiting headphones ✔ Bone conduction headphones for safer listening
