For many, listening to music during a workout is a must. It provides motivation, and even distraction from that little voice inside saying, "Stop! I'm tired!" However, those earbuds aren't doing your ears any favors.
Earbuds trap sweat and moisture in your ears. Ears self-clean with ear wax, and each time you put in your earbuds, you're pushing back the wax. The wax can build up in your ear canal, potentially causing blockages or impacted ear wax.
Earbuds can increase ear wax build up. Even though our ears are self-cleaning, if we block the canal for multiple hours a day, the wax will not be able to work itself out of the ear. Sometimes, this forms a large plug of earwax, and your earbuds can push the wax deeper, causing trauma to the ear and ear pain.
In addition to leaving your ears vulnerable to infection, the main issue with earbuds is that they blast music directly in your ear canals. With extended listening, you increase your risk of developing hearing problems.
There are some simple solutions.
