Here’s what you need to know about protecting your kid’s hearing when they’re using headphones 🎧
, many kids have spent much of the past year with an added artificial appendage: headphones or buds plastered to their ears. Which makes many parents wonder if headphones can cause permanent hearing damage. The answer is, yes and no.
Children under 5 years of age have shorter ear canals than older kids and adults, which amplifies sound. As Chang explains, it’s generally understood in acoustics that the smaller an enclosed space, the larger the volume. Audiologists will regularly compensate for ear canal volume differences when fitting hearing aids, he says. The same concept can theoretically be applied to headphone use and volume.
. “I have actually seen the shape of the earbuds in the wax,” says Chang. This is treatable but will diminish hearing until the impacted wax is removed.Luckily, parents do have some options to help avoid hearing damage in their children, and the key is to limit the volume and the length of time kids spend using earphones.
