Abstract -Young adults are currently using earbuds more frequently, and students share them frequently. Numerous investigations of the human environment have shown that items including headphones, door handles, faucets, phones, money, fabrics, and plastics have been colonised and contaminated. People come into contact with a variety of fomites on a regular basis, and bacterial and fungal infections are on the rise. From 25 regular student users (Group A) and 25 additional non-frequent student users (Group B), 50 earbuds were randomly chosen for microbiological analysis. The samples were examined by means of conventional microbiological techniques. Haemolytic  Streptococci, Bacillus species, coagulase-negative Staphylococci, Escherichia coli, Proteus species, and Staphylococcus aureus were among the bacteria that were identified from the earphones. Staphylococcus aureus, 12 (24%), -haemolytic  Streptococci, 12 (24%), Bacillus spp. 10, Coagulase-negative Staphylococci (COANS), 6, Escherichia coli, 3, Proteus spp. 2 are among the bacteria that were isolated from the earphones. A substantial difference in the mean occurrence values of the isolates from the two groups was shown by statistical analysis (P 0.05).
