Why do earplugs hurt?

Why do earplugs hurt?

Owners of headphones are much more likely to turn to the ENT with complaints of earache than those who do not. Usually they complain of discomfort in one area.

2. Pain can occur from an accessory if sulfur has accumulated there and a sulfur plug has formed. Eliminate it easily by washing the ear with a large pressure of water.
3. The pain occurs when listening to music at maximum volume, this brings severe harm to the body.
4. Poor or inappropriate headset for anatomy of the ear. Headphones should be comfortable to wear and not cause pain. The main thing is that they do not press on the ear.

From large

Large on-ear headphones create a cleaner and more surround sound, but the frequent use of such a headset leads to impaired hearing. Another minus is poor sound insulation. Such headphones should be chosen for your physiology and anatomy, that is, individual characteristics.

From small

Vacuum small headphones pose a greater danger to the hearing aid than overheads. Earplugs such as earplugs completely isolate the auricle from all sounds in the outside world and bring the sound source as close to the inner ear as possible. The effect of such listening, of course, is impressive, but the consequences will not be long in coming. After using such a headset, ears start to hurt sharply.
