Loud headphone use can cause permanent hearing loss: Experts

Experts warn that prolonged use of loud headphones can lead to permanent hearing loss due to damage to inner ear hair cells. They emphasize that the issue lies not in headphone use itself, but in exceeding safe decibel levels, prolonged exposure, and improper headphone types. Professor Suat Turgut explains that sounds above 40 decibels, especially when used to drown out background noise, pose significant risks. He highlights the development of open-ear and bone-conduction headphones as potential solutions. Professor Zahide Mine Yazıcı adds that volume is a critical factor, noting specific decibel limits for safe listening durations.
