Over or In? A Headphone Condundrum

Once used primarily by teenagers and musicians, headphones are now owned by almost anyone who has a smartphone. Coupled with streaming music services, this means more people are listening to music with headphones than ever before. Both over and in the ear (earbud) models provide great sound, but which one is better for your hearing health? Over the ear headphones are the better choice for avoiding noise-related hearing loss. Not only do they keep the sound further away from the eardrums, they are less likely to cause physical damage to the ear and are far better at providing noise-canceling functions. This means you can keep the volume lower without sacrificing sound quality.

Hearing loss due to headphone use is typically gradual, cumulative and without obvious warning signs. A hearing test and a medical examination are the only way to truly diagnose hearing damage. You can’t reverse hearing loss but your hearing aid specialist can apply the appropriate care and technology to lessen their effects and improve the quality of sounds you hear. At ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, we have employed a trustworthy and professional staff that provides high-quality audiology services. We offer innovative testing, advanced evaluation equipment, and a large product selection. 

P.S. Not only can earbuds damage eardrums with volume, they can also push ear wax deeper into the ears, creating blockages.
