What type of deafness is caused by earphones?

The type of deafness commonly caused by earphones is known as noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). This occurs when exposure to loud sounds, such as music played through earphones at high volumes, damages the hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear. Prolonged exposure can lead to permanent hearing loss, tinnitus, and other auditory issues. To prevent NIHL, it's advisable to keep volume levels moderate and take regular breaks from headphone use.


Are earphones supposed to be magnetized?

Earphones are not inherently supposed to be magnetized, but they often contain magnets as part of their design, particularly in dynamic drivers, which use magnets to convert electrical signals into sound. These magnets help produce audio but are not meant to magnetize the earphones themselves. If earphones appear magnetized, it could be due to residual magnetism or interference from other magnetic sources. Generally, this should not affect their performance.
