Ever since AirPods have become a thing, they’ve revolutionized how with consume audio. We don’t struggle with tangled headphone cords, they block out ambient noise, and they just look cool.
But experts are now warning these in-ear headphones can cause significant harm.
Long term and repeated use of these types of headphones lead to build-up of earwax. One expert said quote, “If we put an earbud in, like we see in the in-ear earphones, they end up compressing that area. They end up blocking natural escape routes, compress it and maintain a warm environment which inhibits the wax from drying out and cause all kinds of issues.”
Pretty gross, right?
They went on to say that a build up of earwax can lead to greater problems such as dizziness, pain and vertigo.
They recommend the standard over the ear headphones as a productive option or there’s also “open-ear” earbuds.
So they’re saying I should stop sleeping with my AirPods in? That’s going to be a tough habit to break.
