Why Should People Avoid Wearing Headphones After the FST?

When people wear headphones to listen to music, their hearing develops distortions – true for all listeners.
During the training the auditory response is adjusted during an intensive method using earphones... This is the reason for wearing headphones afterwards to listen to music can undo this adjustment again.

Visiting loud environments, such as rock concerts, sports games, live performances, or music turned all the way up, can contribute to losing the benefits of the training. Prolonged intense stimulation of the listening pathways will re-adjust the way it functions. Therefore, it is essential to protect the ear from such exposures.
One can use a sound level meter to check loudness of sounds one is being exposed to after FST. This way risk can be avoided.
We sadly live in a society that thinks it is ‘fun’ to go deaf! – so at gigs, discos, restaurants, concerts and weddings the music is played so loudly that one’s ears ring for days afterwards. The consequences are sometimes irreversible.
