Headsets from the wearing classification, there are four categories, in-ear monitor headphones, over-the-head headset, semi-in-ear headphones, bone conduction headphones. They have different pressure in the ear because of the different way to wear.
Therefore, some people will say that often wearing ear will cause varying degrees of damage to the ear. What does it actually look like? Let's take a look at the underlying reasons.
Under normal circumstances, sound enters the inner ear and travels to the hearing center through two ways, one is air conduction and the other is bone conduction. In this process, the main factors that cause harm to the ear are: volume, listening time, earphone tightness, relative (environmental) volume.
Semi-in-ear headphones have little impact on the ear because they do not form a closed space with the ear, so the sound is often half into the ear and half out. Therefore, its sound insulation effect is often not good, but it will not swell for a long time.
Bone conduction is much less harmful because it opens both ears and uses the skull to deliver sound directly. However, even bone conduction headphones can not turn on the sound to a large extent, which will accelerate the loss of the cochlea. This design, there will be no headphones with a long head swelling discomfort defects, at most hanging ears a little painful.
Over-the-head headset usually have two ear cushion to reduce pressure on the ears and feel a moderate volume. Its sound privacy may not be very good, people nearby may also hear the sound of your speaker, and the sound quality may be affected. This headset is suitable for long-term use and recent or need to use the headset for office.
In-ear headphones. Some people insist that in-ear headphones transmit all the sound to the eardrum, so it has a great damage to the auditory system, while others insist that because in-ear headphones play a passive noise-cancelling role, people listen to music with in-ear headphones at a lower volume, but will protect hearing. Relative (ambient) volume means that in a noisy environment, the volume will be unconsciously raised. This situation of maintaining a high volume without realizing it in order to achieve consistency with external sounds is the most likely to hurt the ear.
The in-ear type is a closed space, and the pressure in the ear is inevitably greater than that of the open headset, so the impact of the in-ear type on the ear is greater than that of the open headset and greater than that of the ear pendant and greater than that of the bone conduction type.
