Modern technology is fantastic. It makes our lives easier and keeps us connected to friends and family. Most modern technology is not ear-friendly though. Earphones feed sound directly into our ears at higher volumes and for longer periods than our ears can cope with. The closer the sound is to our eardrum, the easier it is for damage to occur. It is not just the volume of sound we need to be careful of either. Noise exposure is a measure of how much sound you have been exposed to over a 24 hour period. Earphones can be particularly damaging as they feed a constant level of noise into your ears, not giving the ear a chance to recover.
