Why noise-cancelling headphones are good for you
July 11th, 2007 by Staff writersStandard headphones that come with iPods and other digital music players are, by and large, ordinary. Every time you hear a really loud sound, your hearing acuity decreases. Thankfully, the effect usually isn't permanent -- audiologists refer to it as temporary threshold shift -- but repeated exposure to high volumes will likely reduce your hearing ability. If you occasionally experience ringing in your ears after listening to loud music or other sounds, take heed. Nature's telling you to turn it down. If you don't, you will suffer some hearing loss -- and you'll never get it back.
