Between Zoom meetings, calls, and listening to music or Podcasts, we can spend many hours of our day with earphones or AirPods in our ears. What impact does this have?

Here are a few of the problems you can face if you wear earphones for long hours:
- Dizziness
- Hearing loss
- Build up of ear wax
- Ear infections
- Ear pain
- Noise-induced hearing loss
- Tinnitus
- High sensitivity even to normal environmental sounds

There are healthy and safe ways to use earphones. Some things to consider when using your earphones are:

- Most headphones have a maximum volume level of 105 to 110 Decibels, while studies show safe sound levels to be less than 80-85dB.
It is important to always be mindful of
(1) the volume level and
(2) the duration of your headphones use.

- Headphones used at slightly higher sound levels (85dB and above) can cause hearing damage in less than one hour. It is important to remember to take breaks when using headphones, even at a lower volume level.

Be sure to follow our tips to use your earphones safely and keep your ears healthy and functional for longer!

This we're taking a closer look at the sphenoid sinus.

The sphenoid sinus is one of the four paired paranasal sinuses that is contained within the body of the sphenoid bone.

Sometimes, these sinuses can become inflamed resulting is sphenoid sinusitis.

Sphenoid sinusitis symptoms are similar to those of a typical sinus infection. However the most commonly reported symptom, leading to a diagnosis of sphenoid sinusitis, is the onset of a sinus headache, especially in the areas around the forehead and temples. There are several symptoms that can indicate the presence of sphenoid sinusitis, including:

- Headaches
- Earache
- Neck pain
- Pain behind the eyes and around the temples
- Post nasal drip

If left untreated, sphenoid sinusitis may cause
severe complications, such as neurological
symptoms, abscesses in the brain, and
meningitis.
