As we age, many of us develop hearing problems from being a bit hard of hearing to tinnitus. One of the worst things you can do is to crank up your earbuds or headphones when listening to music or your favorite podcast. Not only can that excessive volume damage your hearing, there is evidence it can increase the likelihood of developing dementia.
How do you know if you’re cranking the volume up too loud? If someone else can hear the sound from your headphones or earbuds, they’re too loud. Dial back the volume a bit. We want you to keep rocking for many years to come.
