the most common cause of preventable hearing loss.
Some scientific research suggests that using portable
audio devices, such as portable music players and cell
phones, at high volume settings for long durations may
lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This
includes the use of headphones (including headsets,
earbuds, and Bluetooth

or other wireless devices).

Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated
in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear),
hypersensitivity to sound, and distorted hearing.

varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device
settings, and the headphones that are used. As a
