Why would ventilation matter, “medically speaking”? Certainly it makes a difference for comfort, I personally much prefer open backs, but I don’t see how it’d matter for hearing damage (volume is everything for that). Maybe it increases the chance of an ear infection, but when has that ever been an issue for IEM users?

If we just focus on hearing damage, it makes sense to think if in terms of which style of headphones you can play the quietest. And advantage there goes to ones that are isolating, because you can listen quieter if you don’t need to drown out outside noise.

Medically speaking ventilation matters because when you live in a hot country like India you tend to sweat a lot. The ventilation helps to keep the sweat at bay and prevent any infections due to excessive sweating.

You're gonna sweat a lot more with open backs vs iems in a hot place
