Loud Music On Headphones - Know How It Affects Hearing!

Loud music on headphones causes hearing loss.
Noise levels above 110 decibels strip insulation from nerve fibers carrying signals from the ear to the brain. Loss of the protective coating, called myelin, disrupts electrical nerve signals.
Loud noises can lead to hearing problems such as temporary hearing loss or tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and even permanent hearing loss.
Scientists have been able to identify damages to nerve cells as a result of noise exposure.
The more you listen to noise or loud sounds, the more likely you are to damage your hearing. There is a connection between excessive noise and hearing loss. The hearing loss can either be temporary or permanent. 

We are surrounded by noise in nearly all areas of modern life. People do not like loud noises or intense sounds. Our ears are delicate and complex structures that are easily damaged. There is a strong connection between noise and hearing loss. We are exposed to noise at work, to traffic noise in the street and when we listen to music or go to night clubs or concerts where the volume is too loud.

Exposure to noise and high sound levels can result in a noise-induced hearing loss ((nihl).

How many decibels are to loud?

A continuous noise level of 85 db will result in hearing damage and either cause permanent or temporary hearing loss. This is the sound level of heavy road traffic. Compressed air hammers have a sound level of about 100 db and rock concerts almost always reach 110-120 db - the same sound intensity can easily be produced in headsets when you listen to your stereo. Not to mention the noise levels in many schools and kindergartens!
