It has been warned about for years, but recently the number of young people with tinnitus seems to have increased. This is a condition in which you constantly hear an annoying sound that is not actually there at all. However, this is preventable, read below to find out how and what.
A recent article in the AD reveals that not only doctors, but also audiologists note that the number of young people with tinnitus is increasing.
There are several causes of tinnitus, but most often it seems to be caused by hearing damage. Consider, for example, wearing Airpods daily, at loud volume. Or attending festivals and concerts, where no hearing protection is worn.
Preventing Tinnitus
The best way to prevent tinnitus is to avoid loud noises. This can be done, for example, by not turning your Airpods up too loud. Or not going to house parties too often. Although that's easier said than done. Especially if you work in an environment where there is a lot of noise.
Another option is by wearing hearing protection when you find yourself in a noisy room. It just turns out that many young people don't like earplugs very much.
