Health risks of excessive earphone use

The author discusses the impact of excessive use of earphones among Generation Z, noting that people, especially between the ages of 13 and 34, spend about 4.5 hours daily listening to music or podcasts. This raises health and social concerns. He explains that becoming accustomed to wearing them isolates individuals from others, reduces opportunities for social interaction, and enhances feelings of loneliness. It may also negatively affect the ability to enjoy silence and foster deep concentration.
