Abstract: Nowadays, many people "must listen to music" almost every day, but did you know that the highest volume of a small MP3 is equivalent to the volume of a plane taking off? If you use MP3 or mobile phone music improperly, it will seriously damage your hearing health. What is the appropriate volume for listening to music? Teach you how to listen to music correctly without hurting your ears

Under normal circumstances, the volume that the human body can withstand is below 80 decibels. If you live in an environment above 80 decibels for a long time, you will have symptoms such as headaches, weakened memory, and even insomnia. When the volume heard by the human ear reaches 100 decibels, it may cause irreparable hearing damage for a long time. Stimulation at a volume above 120 decibels will cause permanent damage to auditory cells, and in severe cases, hearing loss.

So, how loud should you listen to music? The following are the volumes of several noises for you to compare.

Volume comparison:

MP3 maximum volume: 120 decibels

Plane takeoff sound: 120 decibels

Electric drill sound: 100 decibels

Noisy bar: 90 dB

Business: 70 dB

General conversation: 50 dB

Quiet conversation: 30 dB

It can be seen that the maximum volume that an MP3 can achieve is equivalent to the sound of an airplane taking off.

In fact, any sound above 85 decibels can cause hearing damage, because this damage depends not only on the volume, but also on the length of exposure. Exposure to 90 decibels for 8 hours a day is enough to cause progressive and irreversible hearing damage. Therefore, experts also point out that, in fact, the damage to human hearing caused by listening to music is not inherent, but caused by people's improper use.

What should you do if you don’t want to suffer hearing loss and also regard music as a source of spiritual vitality? Change your music listening habits starting today. While enjoying music, you should also take good care of your ears!

Suggestion 1: Buy high-quality headphones

Choose headphones that are of good quality, have low noise, and can freely and flexibly adjust the volume. If the sound is too loud, you can adjust it in time. It is recommended to use over-the-ear headphones because they are less harmful to the ears than in-ear headphones.

Suggestion 2: Don’t listen to music while sleeping

While asleep, your ears are constantly stimulated by music, and your hearing is damaged unknowingly.

Suggestion 3: Reduce listening time

Do not listen to music for a long time. Give your ears a rest every half hour. The maximum time in the whole day should not exceed three hours. Of course, the longer Less is better.

Suggestion 4: Try to listen in a quiet environment

Don’t listen to music in noisy public places, because it takes a lot of volume to cover the noise.

Suggestion 5: Control the volume

It is best to control the volume of music listening to about 60 decibels, with a maximum of no more than 80 decibels, so that it feels comfortable and pleasant.
