Why does my outer ear hurt after wearing headphones?

Will wearing headphones hurt me if I wear them all day for a while?

  • I've been wearing my new small headphones for two days now and was wondering if there wear any side effects to wearing them all day everyday. I dont listen to my music to loud either just loud enough so I can hear when im wearing the headphones and not hear them when I take them off. Will something bad happen to my ears?

  • Answer:

    After a while your skin may become irritated. Your ear canals also need time to dry out so that the ear wax can dissolve naturally as well. And to do that you need ambient air temps and gentle air currents.

Yes, there will be side affects such as, irritation to the place wear the headphones are on the head, headaches (I get them all the time), and wearing headphones for an hour doubles the bacteria in your ears.
