Listening loudly? Learn how earbuds can harm your hearing
High volume from earphones/earbuds can damage hearing. Doctors warn it can harm sensitive cells and lead to health problems.
Earbuds can diminish your hearing. Essential for communication and entertainment today, overuse can lead to hearing loss. High volume and prolonged use can damage sensitive ear cells that convert sound waves into electrical signals, potentially causing hearing loss.

The ear has three main parts: outer, middle, and inner. The cochlea in the inner ear sends sound messages to the brain. High volume harms this.
Use earphones moderately. Keep volume below 60% and limit use to under 60 minutes, then rest your ears.
