- Video games are a popular form of entertainment, but they could also pose a serious threat to your hearing health. Many gamers play for long hours with the volume turned up, exposing themselves to potentially unsafe sound levels that could damage their ears. In this video, I will explain how sound works, how it affects your hearing, and what are the signs and symptoms of hearing loss or tinnitus, a constant ringing in the ears. I will also share some of the latest research and statistics on the relationship between video games and hearing problems, and how gaming could put millions at risk of permanent hearing damage or loss12. I will also give you some tips and advice on how to protect your ears and enjoy video games safely and responsibly.
I played at max volume to "sound whore" in a game I was trying to get very competitive in to see if I can hit esports. I was actually doing good and could have had a shot. the loud volume really helped me play like I literally could hear everything that was going on. But this being 6+ years ago I now suffer from permanent tinnitus. I try to live with it but to anyone thinking to crank volumes up like I did, trust me it is not worth your hearing. not only becoming deaf, but alot of people who suffer from tinnitus (sometimes even me) get depressed. I also have frequent stress attacks and feel very nervous consistently because of the tinnitus. I heard people even request euthanasia because of this condition. No matter what friends tell you "oh I play max volume too, I don't lose hearing" they're not you, they might be able to handle it better than you, dont compare yourself to them, trust me do not do it.
It's too late for me now, but atleast I can maybe reach 1 person and be the reason they do not end up with hearing loss thanks to my story and advice.
Thank you for reading all the way 👌
