What is the harm of wearing sponge earplugs for a long time?

Listening to music with headphones often will seriously affect your hearing and may cause pinna discomfort, so don't use headphones to listen to songs all the time.

Wearing earplugs for a long time will affect the balance in the ear, squeeze the ear canal a little, and also breed bacteria.

What is the harm of wearing sponge earplugs for a long time? Personally, I think that if the sponge earplugs are worn for a long time, the harm to our human body is relatively large, and it may cause ear injury.

Harm. 1. Inflammation of the ear.

Some people wear earplugs and stuff them very hard into their ears, and everyone's ear piercing size is not the same. Not every earbud will fit inside your ear. Therefore, it is likely to cause the plug to be too tight, increase the pressure on the capillary tube in the ear, and cause the blood circulation system of the ear to become more and more sluggish, and once the time is long, it is likely to cause ear inflammation.

Therefore, the earbuds must be applied in a proper way, and it is not necessary to use the earbuds inside the ear for a long time.

Harm. 2. Weakened English listening.

The ears will cause some essential things, which is what everyone usually calls earwax. In the case of wearing earplugs, some essential substances such as earwax will be pushed into the ear, and in the long term, some essential substances such as earwax will stay in the deepest part of the ear, which will cause tinnitus in more severe cases. Over time, many people will feel pain in their ears and weaken their hearing system.

Harm. 3. Otitis media.

Some earplugs will continue to damage the inside of the ear, many people are reluctant to pay to buy some better quality earplugs, the quality of the earbuds with poor quality is not smooth, Zhou Chang's earbuds are very easy to damage the inside of the ear, so it will be very easy to make the ear infected, and it is very easy to produce otitis media after the virus infection infects the middle ear. Otitis media is a complex condition that is not easy to heal and requires long-term treatment.

Harm. 4. Dependence.

Some people wear earplugs because of their nervous sensitivity and mental illness, but once they wear earplugs for a long time, they will produce a kind of dependence. No matter where you go, once you don't have earbuds, it will be difficult to fall asleep, and even feel upset. If that is the case, earplugs will no longer be a special tool for auxiliary medical treatment, but will become a promotion for the elderly with mental illness.

Therefore, people suffering from mental sensitivity and mental illness rarely wear earplugs to reduce their dependence on earplugs.

Expert Q&A.

What are the hazards of earbuds.

Song Yueshuai. Deputy Chief Physician.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Beijing Friendship Hospital.

The hazards of earplugs are mainly hearing damage.

First of all, the right earplugs, the correct wearing method and wearing time, will not cause damage to people's ears and hearing. Only earplugs that do not fit the wearer's ear canal, or are made roughly, or are worn incorrectly, will cause damage to people's ears and hearing if they are worn for too long. Generally speaking, when purchasing earplugs, the shape of earbuds should fit the wearer's ear canal to avoid excessive compression.

The appearance of the earbuds should be smooth, and abnormal bulges will scratch the external ear canal, causing damage and infection of the cartilage. The earbuds should not be inserted too deep when wearing, and the correct wearing method should be carried out by referring to the instructions, the left and right sides should be worn accurately, and the incorrect wearing method or left and right exchange can lead to the compression of the auricular cartilage and cause ear pain. In addition, prolonged wear may not be conducive to gas exchange in the ear canal, thereby increasing the humidity in the ear canal, affecting the secretion of glands in the ear canal, affecting the acid-base environment and microbial environment in the ear canal, causing potential damage.

If you need to listen to sounds, the intensity of the sound should not be too loud and not too long, too long or too small sounds can cause damage to the person's hearing, producing tinnitus or slow hearing loss.

Wearing earbuds for a long time is not good for hearing, eyes, ears, nose and mouth have an air pressure for the brain, wearing earbuds will make the air pressure unbalanced, you will feel ear pain, the most important thing is that the volume of the earbuds is too close to the cochlea, which will destroy the eardrum vibration and auditory nerve for a long time.

Many people like to wear headphones, but listening to headphones for a long time will cause hearing loss.

Usually some people are willing to wear earplugs when they sleep at night to avoid noise so as not to affect their sleep, and some people also wear earplugs on airplanes when they are traveling long distances, and this kind of wearing earplugs for a very long time is very long. First of all, we have to choose the right earbuds, and secondly, if we don't cause allergies and abrasions to our ears during the process of wearing, because we may constantly adjust our posture during sleep. Without the influence of these factors, there should be no harm in wearing earplugs.

Earbuds plugged for a long time, it has an impact on the inner membrane of the ear, in the case of no need, you need to wear less earbuds, it is a kind of protection for the ears, the earbuds have been worn for a long time, which will make the ears feel sore, and there is no same.

It is harmful to the body, especially the most damage to the ear nerve, so it is usually better to wear earplugs less.

This depends on the individual's feelings of wearing.

Memory foam earmuffs can seal the ear canal well, and you won't feel uncomfortable when using it for a long time. However, this kind of earmuff is a consumable, and it is generally necessary to change a pair a month, and it is higher.

The sound insulation effect of silicone ear tips is average, but the sound insulation effect of multi-section ear tips is better than that of sponge covers. Prolonged wear may cause discomfort in the ear canal. However, silicone cases** are cheap and durable, and most in-ear headphones use silicone cases instead of sponge cases.

As for which kind of earmuffs are good, it still depends on the actual situation of the individual.

Sponge earplugs are not harmful to the ears when you sleep with them.

Sleep on sponge earplugs. It is not harmful to the ears. But for a long time. Your sleep quality will be even worse.

Using earplugs can cause earwax to be pushed into the middle ear at the same time as the earbuds are inserted into the ear canal, which can cause tinnitus, decreased hearing, pain, or bacterial infection.

Users with excess earwax should use the earbuds more carefully, and the earbuds should be washed frequently with water and mild soap. However, foam-type earplugs are usually discarded after use, and they may lose their slow-rebound properties when soaked in water to dry.

In addition, noise-blocking earplugs can also be a trigger for otitis, as many bacteria multiply more vigorously in warm, humid environments.

However, it is generally safe to use noise-blocking earplugs, but some potential dangers that may arise from long-term use must be prevented:

When the earbuds are inserted, the air pressure in the middle ear rises, and it pushes against the ear drum, causing pain because the earbuds are inserted too deeply. In order to avoid this danger, please first rub the earbuds finely and insert them into the pre-desired position, and it is best not to push them in again when the earbuds are fully inflated. Vice versa, to avoid squeezing the eardrum when pulling out the earbuds, you should slowly unscrew the earbuds instead of pulling them out forcefully.

Abstract: Anti-noise earplugs can be inserted into the ear canal to isolate sound from entering the middle and inner ears to achieve the purpose of sound isolation, thereby protecting the human ear. Earplugs can be plugged into the ears to prevent water from entering the ears when swimming, and can also be used to reduce noise interference, i.e. noise-canceling earplugs, sleep earbuds, etc.

Noise-resistant earplugs can be classified into silicone earplugs, sponge earplugs, and wax earplugs according to the material. The use experience and main purpose of earbuds of different materials are also different, so let's take a closer look at the relevant knowledge. What material is good for anti-noise earplugs.

1. Silicone earbuds:

Silicone ear tips are soaked in warm water before use to soften, because the inner wall of the ear canal is curved and soft, if the earbuds are too hard, the ear canal will be red and swollen, and the wall of the ear curve can also cause earache and redness. Therefore, it cannot be stuffed for long-term use. But silicone ear tips are easy to clean and can be used over and over again.

2. Sponge earplugs:

The hardness is good, which makes the ear canal comfortable, and the sound insulation effect is good, and there is no discomfort when used for a long time. Sponge earbuds are made of low-pressure foam mold material and high-elasticity polyester material. The anti-noise earbuds have a smooth surface and slow rebound, and there is no pain in the ears when used, and the sound isolation effect is between 25db-40db.

This kind of earbuds are very suitable for sleeping every night, but they cannot be used repeatedly because the effect of slow return imitation Qi closure will be weakened after washing, and generally speaking, sponge earplugs are disposable after use. However, with the development of science, up to now, there are some sponge earplugs on the market that can be used repeatedly for more than half a year and can be scrubbed.

3. Wax earbuds:

Wax earplugs are the originator of noise-cancelling earplugs, which can be softened by hand and shaped to fit the ear canal. However, the disadvantage is that it is not hygienic enough, and the wax may remain in the ear canal, which is not easy to clean. And after wearing it for a long time, there will be a feeling of swelling and pain in the ears.

Which is better, silicone earplugs or sponge.

The material of the earbuds mainly depends on personal preference and use.

If it is waterproof for swimming, of course, silicone is good.

If you are sleeping or studying to block out external noise, etc., the sponge is better prepared and softer.

If it is the earbud bend of the earphone, the simple noise-free effect is good for the sponge, but this kind of earphone is not suitable for listening to songs when walking and exercising, because it will be slow to respond to the outside world, and the sponge will be easy to get dirty.
