Earphones can cause damage to your hearing capabilities. Listening to music at a high volume for longer period can cause hearing loss. Sharing of earphones may cause infection, so ask the person if he is having any pain or discharge from ear before sharing his earphones and avoid sharing if he has pain or discharge from ear. I would recommend not to share earphones which fit tightly inside ear canal which have higher chances of transferring infection.
