Everybody loves music.

Everybody loves music right? But with so many different genres not everybody will love your type of music. This is why the way we listen to music is changing, with so many people choosing to listen to their music via headphones rather than through a speaker. More artists are catching on to this and with the advance in technology they are managing to incorporate ways when recording to make their music more personal for the listener, so its no wonder more and more people will choose to wear headphones.

Listening to music is such an intimate affair, and instead of filling a room with sound people are opting to attend what we like to call a concert for one. All your favourite music direct through your ears giving you a feeling of closeness with the artist.

Earphones give the listener the ability to select the type of music they want to listen to without judgement from others, meaning you can enjoy your favourite sounds from your favourite artists without being disturbed by others.

There is a saying that If you want to firm your body go to the gym, if you want to exercise your mind then listen to music. This is especially true for the elderly.  Music is proven to give your brain a total work out. This because music is structural, building from one note to the next and without you thinking about it your brain is doing a lot of computing to make sense of the sounds produced. This is why music has been proven to be very beneficial for the elderly in long term care, particularly those living with dementia or Alzheimer.
