I wear it almost eight hours a day and don't find this to be necessarily true. However, using ear phones or head phones for so long may cause problems to your hearing. So, I usually stuff my ears with lots of cotton before wearing the headphone and also keep it aside for a while if I feel uneasy. Form my personal experience I can tell you that it is not good to use head phones for long hours. But I do it for professional reasons.
