Riding a bicycle while wearing headphones to listen to road safety risks

Zhengzhou, June 6th Today, riding a bicycle while listening to your favorite music while wearing a headset seems to be a fashion. This may seem like an unrestrained and relaxed travel mode. In fact, there are many security risks.

On the morning of June 6th, the reporter witnessed this scene at the intersection of Zhengfeng City’s Future Road Hurricane Street: Two electric vehicles have to turn right at the intersection, and electric vehicles riding in front are slowly approaching the roadside. However, he did not notice that the electric car that was turning right behind him had been “forced” to the side of the road. As a result, the rear electric car kept honking to remind the car in front not to lean to the right, but the car in front did not respond, and the last two cars came in an “intimate contact”.

What attracts people's attention is that in the event of a collision, the first thing on the front of the electric car is to take a pair of headphones off of their ears. It turned out that the reason why the citizen "was deafening" to the horns behind him was because the music that was so immersed in the headphones had temporarily lost its "effect".

Afterwards, the reporter visited Zhengzhou Road, Zijing Mountain, and Garden Road in Zhengzhou City. He found that people riding bicycles while listening to music can be seen everywhere on the road. Others are also used to wearing headphones while walking. Walk and listen to music. Not only that, some citizens will use mobile phones to drive mobile phones. Even some citizens will play with their mobile phones while crossing the street. At present, while many people are reveling in the convenience of mobile phones and MP3 and MP4, they rarely care about the hidden dangers of traffic safety.

An on-duty traffic police told reporters: “In fact, this kind of accident caused by the wearing of headphones and not hearing the surrounding horn sounds is not a minority. Nowadays, among the citizens who go to and from work, many people like to wear headphones and listen to music. Cycling, it is easy to distract and reduce the hearing range. Some emergency situations around you can easily be 'masked' by the music in the headphones, affecting the judgment of the surrounding conditions and causing accidents. It is recommended that people do not try to ride as much as possible. Wear headphones to listen to music."

It is understood that when wearing headphones to listen to music, because the eardrum and headphones near the vibration film, sound pressure will be directly transmitted to the eardrum, the eardrum auditory nerve stimulation is relatively large, long time listening to music with headphones, can cause ear inflammation, dizziness, Tinnitus, hearing loss and other symptoms may also lead to sudden hearing loss and deafness in severe cases.
