Health Concerns of Using Technology

The widespread use of technology has led to some important user concerns. Two of the

more common physical health concerns are repetitive strain injuries and hearing loss. These

conditions are on the rise for users of technology.

A repetitive strain injury (RSI) is an injury or disorder of the muscles, nerves, tendons,

ligaments, and joints. Technology-related RSIs include tendonitis of the wrist and carpal tunnel

syndrome. Symptoms of tendonitis of the wrist include extreme pain that extends from the

forearm to the hand, along with tingling in the fingers. Symptoms of CTS include burning pain in

the hand, along with numbness and tingling in the thumb and first two fingers (Zhao). Factors

that can cause these disorders include prolonged typing or mouse usage and continual shifting

between a mouse and keyboard. Taking frequent breaks and exercising the hands and arms can

help reduce chances of developing these repetitive strain injuries (Clark and Nadeer).1

People often listen to sounds from their computers or mobile devices through headphones

or earbuds. Headphones cover or are placed outside of the ear, whereas earbuds rest inside the

ear canal. With these listening devices, only the individual wearing the device hears the sound.

By using high-quality listening devices that provide a close fit and include noise-cancelling

technology, users can lower the volume level on these devices. Lower volumes can help to

minimize potential hearing loss (Sanchez).

According to Clark and Nadeer, tendonitis of the wrist and carpal tunnel syndrome can

lead to permanent physical damage if left untreated (65-66).

Physical conditions associated with using technology include tendonitis of the wrist,

carpal tunnel syndrome, and also hearing loss. Users should take as many preventative measures

as possible to avoid these conditions.
