Am I listening to music too loud?
Do you really know? 
About this episode
Whether it’s in the street, on public transport or at home, almost all of us use headphones or earphones to listen to music. Now music might bring us joy and a whole lot of other emotions, but when it’s too loud, it can also represent a risk for hearing health. And it’s not just the case with personal listening devices; the same is also true when going to entertainment venues like nightclubs, bars, music concert arenas and sports stadia. The danger comes when the sound level gets too high, we’re exposed to it for too long, or worse, both. Both our ears and brains are involved in processing sound. The outer ear captures soundwaves and transmits the vibrations to the cochlea, a snail-shaped organ located in the inner air which contains fluid. What are healthy listening levels then? Are there any warning signs to look out for? What should I look out for? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
