Abstract
We are witnessing a transformative rise in technological innovation, reshaping the way we experience the world around us. And it is in this age of smartphones and Bluetooth technology that the use of headphones has become ubiquitous. The affordability and portability of modern headphones have led to a paradigm shift in the consumption of music, podcasts, audiobooks, and other audio content. Once mere utilitarian instruments, they have become intimate companions offering personalized soundscapes directly to the ears. However, noise-related hearing loss, a well-documented condition resulting from exposure to loud sounds, has become a pertinent concern due to the headphones' proximity to the delicate structures of the inner ear. In addition to possible hearing loss, prolonged use of headphones induces sensory overload, leading to mental fatigue and cognitive impairment, contributing to the development of stress and even depression, social isolation, communication difficulties, and reduced quality of life for individuals. Thus, recreational use of headphones is a double-edged sword. While offering convenience and personalized entertainment, it also poses risks to individuals' hearing and psychological health. Understanding the intricate connections between headphone use, hearing health, and stress can help people enjoy their audio experiences without compromising their long-term well-being.
