9.Earbuds and Headphones
Can others hear the music you’re playing through your earbuds or earphones? If so, you may want to turn down the volume. Using these devices can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss. The louder the music and the longer you listen, the greater your risks are. For safer listening, set the volume at no higher than 60% of the maximum. And don’t listen for more than an hour at a time.
10.Earwax Buildup
Earwax protects your ear canal against dirt and bacteria. But it can build up, harden, and affect your hearing. This is the most common cause of treatable hearing loss. Think you have an earwax blockage? Don’t try to remove it yourself. It’s not safe to put a swab or anything else into your ear canal. A doctor can do it quickly and safely.
