Sound moves in longitudinal waves so as your earphones transmit and amplify patterns of vibrations to certain sounds your inner ear parts, which are extremely fragile, pick them Up and transfer them to information your brain comprehends. The ear is shaped to pick up directions of sounds, as well as provide protection to these fragile inner parts. Earphones have a direct access to your inner ear and over time or at certain volumes, these vibrations can irritate, harm and even rupture the membranes and parts used to filter these sounds.
