Blocking Air Passage

• What happens when you insert your earphones
  directly into your ear to feel the music right in
  there? Well, you might expect a great
  music-listening experience, but it may also block
  the ear passage, exposing your ears to the risk
  of infection.
• Also, you may suffer from tinnitus-a sensation of
  buzzing in the ear, when there is no sound, which
  is caused by excessive ear wax.

Cause Ear Infection

• One rule that everyone should follow never share
  your earphones with anyone. Since earphones are
  made for two ears, it possible for people to
  share them with their loved ones or lend it to a
  friend or borrow theirs.
• Remember, it is also one of the easiest ways to
  transfer bacterial infection from one ear to
  another. Sharing earphones allows non-native
  harmful bacteria (bacteria of someone elses
  ears) to reside in your ears.

Damage Brain Cells

• Turning the volume up too high on your earphone
  may damage your nerve cells. The electromagnetic
  waves produced by earphones can create problems
  for the brain.
• The inner part of our ear is connected to the
  brain, so any activity done in the ear may affect
  the brain as well.

Prone to Accidents

• When people insert earphones while jogging or
  travelling, they become isolate form the rest of
  the world.
• As a result, they are unable to hear continuous
  honking of a vehicle and put others as well as
  their life at risk.

Tips to enjoy your music through earphones
without causing any damage

• Its important to sanitise your earphones
  regularly as when skin, sweat and bacteria come
  in direct contact with each other at the same
  place, the risk of ear infection is high.
• Avoid using earphones that cover your ear canal
  completely. Use over-the-ear headphones instead
  as these earphones remain outside your ears.

• Besides, if you feel any discomfort or problem in
  your ear, it is advised to seek immediate medical
  assistance or get in touch with a hearing aid
  specialist. If you are diagnosed with any type of
  hearing loss, the specialist will suggest you a
  suitable hearing aid to treat your condition.
• You can also buy the suggested hearing aids
  online that are affordable and very much handy
  and can also be customised to meet your needs.
