Using headphones is a very convenient way to listen to music and other media while traveling, exercising, or simply when you don't want to disturb the people around you, but it's also quite inconvenient if you are always must try to keep the headphones from slipping out of the ear. Of course there are many different sizes and you will probably need to buy another pair of headphones that fit you better, however, before investing in a new pair of headphones you can apply some tips. Small below to keep the available headphones from slipping off.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Adjust headset fit
Tie the headset cord to your ear. Instead of inserting the headset into your ear and letting the cord fall off, you can insert the headset "upside down" and loop the cord behind the ear.
- If you are not familiar, it will feel quite odd at first, but this will prevent the headset from falling out of the ear whenever the cord is pulled or pulled slightly.
Put headphones firmly in your ears. The headset is designed to fit snugly against the ear canal. If wearing headphones you feel uncomfortable, put them back into your ears more carefully.- Pull your earlobes lightly with one hand to widen your ears, then release your hands to let them hug around and hold the headset firmly.
Use the wrapped button that comes with the headset. Do not remove the foam or plastic buttons that come with the headset when you buy. Try different sizes to determine the one that works best for you. Even if one ear of your ear is slightly larger than the other, you can use two different sizes of wrap buttons.
Buy special support accessories. You can purchase additional accessories for the existing headphones to adjust them to your taste. These accessories are very helpful in improving the fit of the round headphones supplied with the device. You can choose Yurbuds, the soft rubber buttons that help the headphones fit to the ears are quite popular. You can also set it as a headset button according to your own size.
Do not use a cotton swab to get earwax. Accumulation of earwax can cause the headphones to fit snugly against the ears and easily fall out. Using a cotton swab will actually cause the wax to be pushed deep into the eardrum, forming in the ear and making you uncomfortable wearing the headset. Do not use headphones and get an ear exam if you think you have earwax in your ears. advertisement
Method 2 of 2: Buy headphones that fit
Buy sports headphones with a hook for use when exercising. If you want to wear headphones while exercising, the basic round headphones will not be suitable even though they fit well. Invest in a pair of dedicated sports headphones that are designed like a hook and have a rubber band wrapped around your head to ensure your headphones don't fall out of your ears during exercise.
- While ear-hook headphones are commonly used by athletes, some types can cause skin scratches when worn for a long time. You might consider buying a pair of headphones that fit properly with "prongs" or wireless headphones instead if you have this problem.
Buy sweat-resistant headphones to use when exercising. If you wear headphones during heavy exercise or in hot weather, sweat can cause the headphones to fall out. Look for headphones that are "sweat resistant" if you will sweat while wearing them.
Buy waterproof headphones to use in all weather conditions. If the headphones are at risk of coming into contact with water, such as when running long distances or playing winter sports, it is recommended that you choose waterproof headphones to ensure that the water does not make the headphones fall out of the ear.
- Check the IP (International Protection Levels Standard) rating on the package for sweat or water resistance levels of the headphones. Many manufacturers sometimes offer misleading advertisements. For example, IPX4-rated sports headphones are sweat-resistant (but not waterproof).
- You can even buy waterproof headphones to use for swimming! These headphones meet IPX8 standards.
Buy a wireless headset if you have problems with the headset cord. If your headphones often fall out of your ears due to the cord being pulled or caught on clothes or other objects, you can try wireless headphones.These headphones are a bit more expensive, but if you have to use headphones regularly, this is a worthy investment. On the market today there are many types of bluetooth headsets you can choose from.
Buy earphones specifically for people with small ears if needed. If you've tried everything and the headphones are still falling, your ears are probably very small. If so, you should buy headphones specifically for small ears.
- Women typically have smaller than average ear sizes, making it difficult to fully insert the earphones into their ears. There are many micro-padded headphones on the market and there are also many types for women.
- Some people lack cartilage at the function of covering the ear or ear cartilage association. If you always have trouble wearing headphones, you should have your ears checked for this syndrome and choose to buy headphones with support for wearing, such as headphones with hook.
Warning
- Do not listen to music with headphones at high volume for a long time. Whether the headphones are very fit or of high quality, overuse will damage your hearing and eventually lead to hearing loss.
