A member asked:
I started working at a call center in aug 2016. never had ear issues until i started working there. could it be the high volume from the headset?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: repetitive high volume injury to your hearing can eventually cause permanent hearing loss. If you cannot turn down the volume try ear plugs to lower the volume
