Is the regular use of earplugs dangerous?
I live in a college dorm and I need to use them quite often to sleep and study because it gets so noisy and I prefer to study in my room. Is it dangerous or bad for my ears to do so everyday?

I don't think so. I got in the habit of wearing them when I was in the dorms. 15 years later and I still wear them every single night.

no. regular exposure to loud noise can be dangerous, so NOT using earplugs can be dangerous in some circumstances (like people who work in really noisy places - i know i've been on field-trips to factories or stuff where we had to wear earplugs to be allowed in)

No! And if your dorm is that loud, wearing ear plugs will protect your hearing.

Yes it is bad for your ears, if you always turn it on loud it can sometimes make you deaf.
