PLF and inner-ear damage from in-ears

3

The fit and seal that in-ears create can lead to potential injury when the buds are yanked out of your ears. This mostly occurs with wired in-ear models where a fast yank on the wire (which can happen accidentally) makes it far more likely that damaging suction effect could increase the risk of this injury. Share your comments and let other users know if you’ve experienced something like this.
