Which earphones- over the head or earphones are best to use if u don't want to damage your ears and need to use for long.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Earphones: Headphones that cover the entire ear are safer than ear buds that only cover the ear canal. Volume is also important. It is important to keep the volume low when wearing headphones. Playing music loud when wearing any kind of earphones can result in permanent hearing loss.
