Wearing headphones for an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times ... so what about earplugs?!


Question: Wearing headphones for an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times ... so what about earplugs.?
I have noisy suite mates, and have to wear earplugs at times to sleep. I also wear my headphones during the day to drown out the noise. Could I be hurting my ears.?

Is this fact even true.?Health Question & Answer

I'm not sure if the statistics are true, but if you wash your ears in the shower every day then clean them with a Q-tip you should be fine. Make sure you have your ears free at some point during the day (class, dinner, any time you don't need quiet)Health Question & Answer
