Krasnoyarsk residents were reminded of the rules for the safe use of headphones

The Krasnoyarsk Rospotrebnadzor told how headphones can affect health, and what measures will help avoid problems.

Experts note that prolonged listening to music at high volumes can lead to hearing loss. In addition, the vestibular apparatus, which is responsible for balance and coordination of movements, suffers. The danger is that negative changes occur gradually and can go unnoticed for a long time.

The department advises choosing a moderate volume level – one at which you can hear surrounding sounds and, if necessary, you can carry on a conversation. It is also important to pay attention to the device's warnings about exceeding safe sound levels.

Separately, Rospotrebnadzor reminds about safety on the street: it is better to take off headphones when crossing roads and railway tracks.

We should also not forget that long-term wearing, especially of in-canal models, creates a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria. This can lead to the development of otitis media. To reduce the risk, it is recommended that you clean your headphones regularly and do not share them with others as they are personal items.
