What Causes Head And Temple Pain With Dull Aches On Using Headphones?

Nowadays, when i listen to music on my headphones, my head hurts. Not a pain at the temples, but more of a dull consistent pain on the sides. This hasn t happen before, but it has been happening for the past few days. I didn t even listen to music for that long, and i even tried turning down my volume for a long time. I can only hear music nowadays when its played on loudspeaker and not on headphones. How can i fix this? :/

Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that this situation could be related to a hypersensitivity to headphones, which are known to cause a higher intensity of the sound. For this reason, I recommend avoiding headphones for a couple of weeks and see if this situation improve.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
