In today's smartphone is an object that can not be separated from human hands. Almost all modern needs can be met these objects, but behind its usefulness stored some risks that can threaten health.

One is the use of earphones that can be harmful to the ear. The World Health Organization (WHO) also announced an appeal on how long it would take for someone to use earphones every day.

Quoted from Popular Science, WHO recommends the allowed period for someone listening earphones is one hour every day with a volume of 60 percent only. The last few decades the number of young people who have hearing loss due to using earphones is always on the rise.

Since 1994 about 3.5 percent of adolescents in the United States have a hearing loss and the figure continues to increase by 5 percent in 2014.

Some of us may have used earphones with maximum volume especially when we were in a noisy environment. Though playing music with the maximum volume can damage our pendengangaran within 4 minutes.

"Using earphones in noisy environments, people tend to play music using earphones with a higher volume than usual to be heard by the ear.This incident can periodically damage our ears if it is too often done with a duration of 4 minutes" said Professor Kathleen Campbell , an audiologist from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine.

"Although the WHO has also regulated the developers of earphone brands to standardize hearing aids that do not hurt human hearing, it will be useless if our behavior using earphones is still unwise" says professor Kathleen Campbell.

So if calculated, how long do you use earphones every day? Is it excessive or appropriate? You yourself decide the future.

Hopefully it can be useful, and we are always given health.
