Davi wakes up every day around 6:30 am, has breakfast, grabs his notebook, books, computer and headphones. \u201cI use the headphones to study, listen to music and play,\u201d says the 9-year-old boy. On the virtual platform that started to bring together school activities \u2013 after the suspension of face-to-face classes due to the new coronavirus \u2013 he is instructed to watch part of the video content and to be ready at 9 am, for the class's video conference with the teacher. The grandmother has the radio on while cooking, the younger brother watches TV in the living room and the mother works sewing in another room. <\/span><\/p>

A few kilometers away, Ricky, a 35-year-old teacher and the child's uncle, is also wearing headphones. \u201c<\/span>I feel more focused because I listen to podcasts or music while doing other things at home. I also use it to have more immersive experiences playing video games and, one of the main factors: so as not to disturb my wife, who is working from home during this period.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

The two people from Natal illustrate changes in behavior in the consumption of audio and videos recorded during the quarantine \u2013 as well as the trend towards greater use of headphones in Latin America, identified in a recent report by the American consultancy Arizton, with projections for the market in the period from 2020 to 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

For users of this type of accessory, a warning comes, however, from research, health authorities and preceptors and students of the Multiprofessional Residency in Health Care for Persons with Disabilities<\/a> offered by Center for Health Education and Research Anita Garibaldi<\/a>, from the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD): Possible inappropriate use brings risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Using information from the World Health Organization (WHO), studies and online guides, the team draws attention to the danger of <\/span>incorrect and prolonged exposure to intense sounds, the possibility of infections with possible shared use and, also, the importance of<\/span> hygiene practices, teaching how to properly clean wires, removable parts and other external areas. <\/span><\/p>
