Side Effects Of Using Headphones: Noise cancelling headphones block out external noise, and enhance the calling experience. But if you are using it for hours every day, then your ears and brain can get damaged. 

In comparison to normal headphones, the demand for noise cancelling headphones is increasing rapidly in today's time. With its help, calling, videos and music can be easily enjoyed even in crowded places without any external noise. 

However, experts believe that regular use of these headphones can affect the audio processing ability of the brain. They are warning that long-term use of these headphones can lead to hearing-related brain problems, which we usually think of as related to the ears. 

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)

Continuous use of noise cancelling headphones can affect the natural way of hearing. According to experts, now more young people are going to the doctor for hearing related problems. Although their ears are completely fine, but the problem is in the brain, that is, the brain is having difficulty in understanding what it is hearing. This is called Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). In this, the brain has trouble understanding words or sounds, especially when they are mixed with background noise.

Effects on hearing ability

Renee Almeida, an audiologist at Imperial College Healthcare, explains that there is a difference between hearing and being heard. If a person is only hearing what he wants to hear, the brain may be unable to naturally filter out other sounds. 

Increasing use of headphones and side effects

The market for noise-cancelling headphones is growing rapidly and is estimated to reach $45.4 billion by 2031. Despite this growing use, experts say it may cause the brain to have trouble processing sounds correctly. The brain's ability to recognize natural sounds may slow down, especially in young people who are using this technology a lot.

There is also a danger of this

Noise cancelling headphones can also have other side effects. Using them for a long time can cause pressure in the ears, which can lead to headaches, dizziness, fatigue and discomfort. Apart from this, wrong hygiene can also increase the risk of ear infections.

It is important to keep these things in mind

Experts say that headphones should be used for a limited time, so that the brain and ear's natural hearing ability remains intact. NHS audiologist Dr. Ruth Reisman recommends that noise cancelling headphones should not be used for more than two to three hours a day.
