What are anc headphones and why are you popular?
ANC headphones use a special technique. These headphones listen to the noise outside, create the sound of its right vomiting frequency, which ‘canceled’ the outside noise. outcome? You get a very calm atmosphere, where you can only enjoy your music or your podcast. This makes it easier to focus in traveling or noisy environment.

  1. Pure sound quality: If there is no noise, you hear every fine tune of music.

  2. Concentration: They help to maintain concentration while working or while studying.

  3. Rest: During the journey or in a noisy environment, you are relaxed.

  1. Danger in low voice too: The danger from ANC headphones can be not only on listening to music, but also in moderate voice. When the external noise is over, we get used to listening to our music or audio faster than normal. The brain feels that the voice is slow, so we increase the volume. This causes damage to the ears in a long time.

  2. Changes in listening habits: Continuous use of ANC can weaken your brain listening ability. You can stop recognizing small or light voices, because your brain always gets addicted to ‘fast and pure’ voices.

  3. Pressure on Ears: Some people feel strange pressure or ‘suppressed’ in the ears by wearing anc headphones. Feeling such a long time can be harmful to the eardrum and inner ear.

  5. Danger of deafness: Using headphones in constant loud voice or for a very long time can cause permanent damage to hear cells in inner ear, which can cause premature deafness problems.

  • Limit volume: Most important! Always keep the sound of the headphone below 60%. Use the ‘Volume Limit’ feature in your smartphone.

  • Determine the deadline: Adopt 60/60 Rules-Take at least 5-10 minutes break after hearing every 60 minutes.

  • Reduce use: Where an ANC is not needed, use ordinary headphones or speakers.

  • Correct fitting: Always choose earbuds with the right fitting, so that the outside noise can be reduced to some extent even without anc.

  • Regular checkup: Keep testing your listening ability from time to time.

  • Be aware: If you feel any abnormalities in the ears such as whistle, pain or less hearing, then see the specialist doctor immediately.
