Experts share worries about the possible effects of noise-cancelling headphones on hearing health, especially among Gen Z, as they gain popularity. According to studies, long-term usage of these headphones may be causing an increase in auditory processing disorder (APD), a problem in which the brain has trouble interpreting noises, making it challenging to follow directions or have conversations in noisy settings.
APD has historically been linked to ear infections or brain injuries, but it is now being seen in more young people who do not have these risk factors.
Regular use of noise-canceling headphones may "untrain" the brain to filter out background noise, which could cause serious listening difficulties, according to audiologists.
