There are many individuals who use earphones as constant companions while studying, travelling, sweating it out in gym or simply to avoid conversations as music makes almost everything bearable. Earphones are now an inescapable part for most people but blasting music in one’s ears does have its consequences. Earphones can damage the ears if they are used for a long period of time at a high volume, and can result in partial to complete hearing loss, also known as noise-induced hearing loss. The damage can be permanent as the sound from earphones cause the hair cells in the cochlea to bend severely.
When sound waves reach the ear, there are vibrations in the eardrum which ate transmitted to the inner ear through several small bones, to reach the cochlea. The cochlea is a fluid-filled chamber in an ear that contains thousands of small hairs. When sound vibrations reach the cochlea, the fluid inside it vibrates and cause the hairs to move. If the volume is too loud, it will have stronger vibrations and cause the hair cells to move more. This results in "temporary hearing loss.The hair cells take time to recover from extreme vibrations caused by loud noise. There are also some cases, where the cells never recover or they are too damaged to function normally any longer. This leads to "lasting hearing loss". This type of noise-induced hearing damage is almost impossible to recover from.
