Experts Warn of Gradual Hearing Loss Risks from Prolonged Noise Exposure

Experts warn that constant exposure to everyday noise, including loud music and prolonged earphone use, can cause gradual, irreversible hearing loss and impact brain health. The auditory system remains active even during sleep, making continuous noise a silent risk. Mild hearing loss may increase cognitive strain and memory problems. Specialists recommend limiting audio device volume below 60% and taking breaks after 60 minutes. Early detection and intervention, including neonatal screening, are crucial for prevention and better outcomes.
