uh, not immediately, but you’ll regret it when you get old!

well you have fragile tiny hairs inside of your ears which sense sounnds and exposure to loud sounds slowly damages those hairs so it will decrease your hearing

yes. there are these little hair in the inner part of your ear called scilia. the eardrum vibrate the liquid that they sit in, attatched to the inner ear wall. music that is too loud vibrates that eardrum, which pulsates the liquid and flattens the scilia. you hear a ringing in your ears. hopefully, given a little time, they will stand back up.

constant exposure to too loud music causes the eardrum to vibrate too much and the scilia may even break away from the inner ear wall. there is no surgery for returning the scilia to their proper place, and that ringing in your ears will most likely stay with you for the rest of your life.

no more scilia, no more hearing. yes, over time, you may go completely deaf.

how loud should an ipod be to not damage your hearing?

I was just noticing today how i had to practically jam the ipod headphones into my ears to hear them well enough. Not a good sign. Listen to them lower if you can.

if a person standing across from you (as if in conversation) can hear the words of the song, definitely turn it down.

it really sucks cuz i like to listen to music loud (and be at the front of the manson concerts, yeah!) but i definitely don’t want to have to have a hearing aid when i’m older!

i saw in a magazine that you can have it at 80% volume for up to two hours without damage. but that might not go for ear-buds. they say those are worse for ur ears than normal headphones.

I need to listen to my ipod in like the hallway of school and when I go for walks but I don’t know how loud to have it!

Yes ear buds are the worst, the SPL (sound pressure levels) have no where to go causing the small bones in your ear the vibrate more then intended, after prolong listing the sensitivity well me much lower. A little test to get a good volume from ear buds: Hold one hear bud as far as you can from you aiming the other way, If you can hear the music and vocals clearly then thats too loud to put in your ear.

I won’t say that the IPods/earbuds cause NO damage, but the damage is probably overstated/overblown - doesn’t everyone reach an age where they need a hearing aid anyways?

yer i could go def in time but you first start with tinutus with that you will hear ringing sounds

Anything from 95 dB and up can be very damaging to your hearing fairly quickly, and could possible be perminant. It all depends on the frequency of the sound (i.e. is it a low pitch, mid pitch, or high pitch sound), exactly how loud it is, the acoustics of the room your in and how far away from the sound source you are. For reference the threshold of pain is around 120-130 dB, your average conversation is around 30 to 40 dB, and you average rock concert is at 110 dB. So sticking two speakers directly into your ears at full blast is definitely not a good thing. It will cause damage to your ear for sure, but whether your ear recovers really depends, but there is a good chance that the hearing loss could be perminant. I work in a recording studio with alot of musicians, and most of them have something called tennitus. This is a condition where the ear produces sounds that are not actually there. The most common is a high pitch ringing that never goes away. The same sound you hear when you come out of loud concert, or after listening to headphones for along time. Of course you get used to it im sure, but you can easily avoid it by not listening to things to loud, wearing earplugs when playing or listening to live music, and letting your ears rest. Hope that helps.

Umm will the eardrum or watever b damaged if thr;s a very loud noise occur bside u like for 1 sec??
