A lot of people are not aware that sharing earphone is something that shouldn't be done. It's unhygienic.

Sure, it may seem such a harmless goodwill, but, let's take a look at this "semi-barbaric act" in a new light: How would you like to continue sharing the bacterial inhabitants of your ear to other people, and those people sharing back their ear's germs  to you.

A lot of people doesn't realize that each of us has a unique bacterial flora residing in our ears. Normally, these little germs doesn't cause us harm, but if they are altered like when a new bacteria colony  is introduced, then, their is a potential risk of acquiring an ear infection. Shockingly, even family member and close friends have unique bacterial flora in their ears.

How would you like ear pain, muffled hearing, and ear drainage?

Compounding this problem is the fact that earphones can get in contact with a lot of surfaces that can add up bacterial diversity in the earphone itself like desks, bags, wallet, and the floor. Who cleans their earphones anyways? I have to admit that the thought of cleaning my earpiece didn't really hit me until now.

The earpiece should be cleaned with a alcohol or hydrogen peroxide using a cloth or a cotton ball. Just make sure your don't soak the drivers or you'll destroy it.


Earphone is a personal thing!

How would you like sharing your underwear? Sounds gross? That's exactly what I'm trying to point out in this blog post. You see, you really have to start treating your earphone like a private stuff because it really is. It's filled with bacteria and ear wax which you don't see with your naked eyes.
