Excessive use of AirPods and earphones is bad for the ears. If you use earphones at high volume for a long time, there is a risk of ear infection as well as loss of hearing. But sometimes the usage of earphones and AirPods increases due to work or workout. In such a situation, to keep your ears healthy, experts say to remember 60/60. Let us know what this rule is and how it works.
These dangers exist due to excessive use
If someone uses earphones the whole day, their hearing ability may be affected and there is also a risk of infection. Many people start hearing ringing, which is called tinnitus. In this, there is a continuous sound of bells ringing in the ears. Apart from this, there is also a risk of sound sensitivity, in which it becomes difficult to tolerate even the slightest sound.
What is 60/60 rule?
Experts say that if you have to use earphones or AirPods for a long time, then you should remember the 60/60 rule. This means that you should use AirPods or earphones at 60 percent volume only for 60 minutes. After this take a break for a while. According to experts, if you keep the volume within safe limits and keep taking breaks in between, then using earphones for a long time is not harmful.
Apple gives safety notification
