To give your ears the best protection against infection, according to Healthline , experts recommend disinfecting your headphones after each use. However, this can be difficult for people who use these devices multiple times a day. Instead, cleaning the headphones at least once a week is usually sufficient. If you work out with earbuds or headphones, be sure to give them extra cleaning after a workout at the gym or after a run, since sweat can leave moisture and bacteria in their wake (according to the New York Times ).
For a proper cleaning , Orlando Ear Nose & Throat Associates recommends wiping the surface of the earbuds first with a dry, lint-free cloth before digging into nooks and crannies. You can also use a cotton swab with some water to clean hard-to-reach areas. Use an alcohol wipe for disinfection and headphones that should not be exposed to water.
If you have trouble remembering to clean your headphones regularly, consider using in-ear headphones. ENT Dr. Sreenivasa Murthy TM told Doctors' Circle that headphones can be particularly susceptible to ear canal infections compared to traditional headphones.
