Audiologists in the UK are raising concerns about the potential impact of noise-canceling headphones on hearing, especially among young people. Reports suggest a rise in Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) cases, where individuals struggle to process sounds despite normal hearing. Experts worry that blocking everyday noises may disrupt auditory development, particularly in teens. While more research is needed, specialists recommend taking breaks from noise-canceling devices to maintain healthy listening skills.
