Experts of Speech and Hearing Unit of PGI ENT Department, Chandigarh have proved this through extensive study. A special story on the occasion of World Hearing Day today.. PGI ENT Chandigarh study has revealed that the growing addiction to earphones among the youth is causing deafness.
New things have come to light in a study conducted by the department on hearing impaired youth. It has been found that the hearing power of young people who listen to songs on earphones for more than two hours in 24 hours has decreased rapidly.
Experts suggest that such youth should stay away from noise and not use earphones. Head of Speech and Hearing Unit, Prof. Sanjay Munjal says.
Sanjay Munjal said that earlier only people between the age of 45 to 50 years were affected by hearing loss, but now hearing problems are occurring in the youth under 35 years of age.
Noise above 80 decibels is dangerous.
Sanjay says that noise above 80 decibels is fatal as it directly affects our eardrums. When it comes to earphones, generally young people listen to songs in 90 to 100 decibels, so it is better not to use earphones for more than two hours a day. Listen to songs on speakers rather than earphones, as they are further away from the ear.
According to a World Health Organization report, around 1.1 billion young people around the world are at risk of hearing loss due to earphone use. Another report states that 430 million people worldwide suffer from deafness.
