Earbuds vs Headphone: Mana yang Lebih Baik untuk Kesehatan Telinga?

Dream - Does Dream's friend enjoy listening to music or attending virtual events? If so, Dream's friend must be familiar with various types of earphones, such as earbuds, earphones, true wireless stereo (TWS), or headphones.

"Getting to Know Earphones and Headphones"

In broad terms, earphone devices are divided into headphones and earphones, or more commonly used as earbuds and TWS at present. Earphones themselves are very small audio devices that are directly inserted into the ear canal.

Earphones are connected by a cable that delivers sound from the device to both ears. Meanwhile, earbuds or TWS (True Wireless Stereo) are equipped with silicone tips that aim to provide comfort and help keep the device from easily falling when worn.

Unlike earphones or earbuds, headphones are larger in size and have a band above the user's head. Headphones are usually equipped with better noise-canceling features, especially if they are over-ear type.

Although called by different names, both earphones and headphones have the same purpose, which is to provide the ability to immerse oneself in audio intensively. Dream friends can use both according to their preferences and still enjoy every nuance of the sound produced. However, long-term use with loud volume can cause hearing problems. Read the following explanation to choose the right earphone device for ear health.

"Some facts you need to know"

Our ears can be considered safe if we hear sounds up to 70 decibels (dB). When talking normally, the volume of our voice can reach 60 dB. If we continuously hear sounds above 70 dB, our hearing can be damaged. Sounds above 85 dB can cause permanent hearing damage. Headphones are capable of producing a maximum sound level between 85-110 dB.

According to the Hearing Health Foundation, headphones are considered a superior option compared to earphones. This is because when worn, earphones directly transmit sound into the ear canal, which can increase the risk of hearing damage if the volume is too loud.

Earphones or earbuds can also push ear fluids further in, which can cause blockages, affect hearing, and make someone tend to raise the volume higher.

Meanwhile, the headphones do not directly enter the ear. In fact, several high-end headphone models are often equipped with effective noise-canceling technology that reduces the need for Sahabat Dream to raise the volume.

That is the difference between earphones and headphones as a whole and the better choice to use. So, what do you think, Sahabat Dream? Report by Amanda Syavira/ Source: Hearing Health Foundation
