Don’t Use Certain Headphones
Earbuds are better if you’ve got a piercing on your ear, especially an industrial or cartilage piercing. … I would advise that, if you have headphones like mine, you should invest in a cheap $10 pair of earbuds until your piercing heals. Otherwise, this can also cause trauma to the wound.
Keeping this in consideration, can I wear headphones with a new piercing?
Don’t wear your headphones while the piercings are still tender, keep them clean as instructed, and just be gentle with them as they heal. The smaller your studs are, the easier it’ll be to wear headphones over them.
Beside above, is it bad for your ears to wear headphones all the time?
Headphones that go over your ears can also damage your hearing if you use them too long or play music too loudly. They’re just not as much of a risk as earbuds are: Having the source of the sound in your ear canal can increase a sound’s volume by 6 to 9 decibels — enough to cause some serious problems.
How do you sleep with a newly pierced ear?
To decrease this risk, ask your piercer to use flat studs, as opposed to those with jewels and other jagged edges. New piercings can also be difficult to sleep in, especially for side sleepers. While your piercing heals, you can help minimize discomfort by sleeping on your back instead of your side.
What can you not do after a piercing?
Stay out of pools, hot tubs, rivers, lakes and other bodies of water while your piercing is healing. Don’t fiddle with your piercings. Don’t touch a new piercing or twist the jewelry unless you’re cleaning it. Keep clothing away from the piercing, too.
