Amid the digital revolution, headphone usage has seamlessly integrated into the daily lives of students. This study was conducted to investigate headphone usage patterns and their impact on hearing acuity at Dr. NGP Institute of Technology, Coimbatore from June to September 2024. A descriptive design was employed to examine headphone usage and its impact on hearing acuity among 205 students at Dr NGP Institute of Technology. Data collection utilised a semi structured questionnaire to assess usage habits and Marcin Masalski's ‘The Hearing Test Application’ for hearing assessments. The results revealed that 45.4 percent of participants had mild hearing loss in the left ear, and 47.3 percent in the right ear. Factors such as daily headphone use (51.4%), prolonged listening (42.4%), and high-volume levels (61-90 dB) were linked to hearing impairments. Additionally, 51.2 percent of participants experienced ringing sensations, and 27.8 percent reported ear pain. It is concluded that prolonged headphone use among students is linked to significant hearing impairment, with 51.7 percent experiencing hearing loss, highlighting the importance of promoting safe listening habits.
