My ears went buzz ... buzz for the past few days. That explained why I have been hiding at home to reduce sound exposure to my ears. Why went buzzing? That's because I have increased the hours usage of listening to my mp3 player via earphones. The nerves in my ear have been wringing in pain and I ignore it. And a few days later ... it went buzzing in my ears. Temporary hearing loss?? No way!! But this is the fact I have to accept: my eardrums are taking a shorter time to go deaf... No more the days of having the eardrums vibrating at the slower rate when we get older... I'm getting it at a young age i guess...

And ... earphones might have bacteria too.... need to clean it once in a while...

I'm gibbering about the disadvantages of headphones? Read it yourself at BBC News

Scary.
I already have bad hearing and sometimes I worry that it'll get worse. You really shouldn't listen to your music that loud.

Oh, and what did you mean that I should be tagged? Tagged how? What do you mean?

As far as bacteria goes, I like to wipe mine off with a lysol disenfecting wipe every couple of weeks when I change out my ear bud covers. Plus when you change earbud covers you can change colors and styles =)

Ohhh boy. That's why you should always use the over-the-ear, large headphones. They give you better sound quality (if you buy good enough ones) and aren't close enough to the eardrum to do AS immediate damage.

re:
That it might be, indeed. :D I was actually thinking about it.

I hear that annoying beep in my ears every now and then. I don't know why and I don't know how, it just happens.

Have you been putting the volume up high? If so, maybe you should try investing in a nice pair of noise canceling headphones? Your ears are important! Keep them healthy please~ =)
