3. Let the ears rest

Do not keep on wearing earphones and listening to music through your iPod or MP3 player for a long time. Use it only when you need it.

4. Shrink MP3 volume

Do not listen to music in high volume. Do not let the sound issued by the earphone sounded out.

5. Know when the sound is too loud

You can apply certain rules, such as listening to music with a maximum volume of 50 percent, or listen to music through earphones maximum 90 minutes a day, and others. Of course, this rule you must obey by yourself.

7. Cleaning the ears

Do not use cotton bud when cleaning the ears. Instead, drop the olive oil into the ear every week to help the sticky fluid in the ear out naturally.

8. Use technology

If you want to buy MP3s, choose one that has a ‘smart volume’ feature. This feature will remind you to keep the volume of music up if it is too tight.

9. Changing earphones

Immediately replace the earphones when your property already looks a bit damaged. Do not wait until it’s completely not working. Because you do not know if the damage could have an impact on the health of your ears.
