Hearing aids have now become an extension of the human body, and they are the perfect allies to complement those long walks, training, those long hours of work and study, etc. A recommendation that the WHO gives to people is that the human ear is designed to be able to withstand up to 90dB for a long time, before damage. The headphones emit approximately between 75 Y 136 dB, depending on the volume. It is recommended that we always listen to music in short periods and below 85dB.
A very interesting piece of information provided by the OMS is that a user, when listening 15 minutes of music at 100dB, has the same exposure to sound that an industrial employee would have at 85dB during 8 hours. This is why it is essential that even though we really enjoy listening to music, we know how to better manage our exposure, in order to take care of our ears.
