I’ve been getting terrible pain in my ears lately and didn’t know what is causing it. The pain has lasted a few days and has been unbearable.
I’m using the Q45 overears. One thing I’ve noticed is the condensation build up and the heat that can be created through wearing them.
I don’t know about other headphones, only these ones. But the pain is tremendous where I’m actually using paracetamol to kill the pain.
Looking into this further, I’ve discovered some information that I think will be useful to other people.
##Headphones worn over or around the ear can cause pressure damage to the outside part of your ear, called the pinna** . Bending or squeezing the delicate cartilage of the pinna under headphones can cause pain, and you run the risk of causing a skin abrasion that could get infected.
Bacteria
The very things that make headsets work best – a sealed environment close to the body – also make them much more likely to promote the growth of bacteria.
This also should be considered by Soundcore when upgrading. Endurance tests should be conducted to ensure comfort and low condensation. That infections of the ears are prevented.
