Experts warn that constant exposure to everyday noise, including loud music and personal audio devices, can cause gradual, often unnoticed hearing loss that may lead to cognitive decline and memory problems. The auditory system remains active even during sleep, making continuous noise a silent risk. Specialists emphasize early testing, volume control, and breaks during audio use to prevent irreversible damage. They also highlight the importance of neonatal and early hearing screening for timely intervention.
