Vacuum headphones are the most dangerous for hearing, says Alla Zakharova, otolaryngologist of the BestDoctor medical services ecosystem.

“They direct the sound directly to the eardrum and also help to move the sulfur to it, as a result of which a dense sulfur plug is formed. This will reduce the acuity of hearing, and the person will feel stuffy in the ear. Also, such headphones can act as an infectious component and lead to inflammatory processes in the external auditory canal and eardrum,” Zakharova explained.

The interlocutor called in-ear headphones less dangerous, and overhead headphones were the safest.

“They cover the auricle and transmit less dense sound to the eardrum and distribute the sound evenly,” the expert explained.

To minimize the impact on hearing, she says, you should disinfect your headphones, regardless of type, with a damp alcohol wipe every day, and reduce your exposure to loud noises and, if possible, remove your headphones when they are turned off.
