Answer

The two health concerns associated with excessive use of digital devices are as follows:

  1. Impact on Hearing — Listening to loud music for over 15 minutes can cause hearing damage. Using headphones for long periods increases bacteria in the ears by over 700 times.

  2. Impact on Bones and Joints — Technology affects posture due to prolonged sitting and repetitive movements, leading to muscle and joint strain. Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs) affect muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
