Association of EHS was evaluated on the basis of demographic characteristics, gender, utilization, and safety adopted in extensive and normal CP user. Prevalence of overall EHS was found to be associated 87.6% to CP users but most common sensitivity was found ‘warmth on ear’ (52.4%) and ‘Ringing delusion’ (23.8%). Other self reported symptoms ‘forgetfulness’, ‘increase in carelessness’ and “tremor” were more than 19% and ‘headache’ was reported by 13% CP users. The CP users who had smoking or drinking habit, were significant associated (p<0.05) for the ‘carelessness’, ‘dizziness’ and ‘irritation’. The study is of significance and the possibility of EHS was associated to extensive usage of CPs but a large no of data may better support for its significance.
