Whatever happened to common sense?! We all know that loud noises can damage hearing. So just don't crank up the music that loud. Its all under your own control!
Dizzy definitely has a point here. Also, I didn't know about pain meds causing hearing problems or problems with your ears. About nine months ago I had some sort of sinus mess or something and my right ear just got stopped up or something and I know not hearing is awful. I found out I had slight hearing loss in both ears. My mom and dad have hearing loss too so I just assumed it ran in the family. I have certain conditions that have kept me on pain meds for years now. Suddenly, I wonder if that has anything to do with it too.

I can't use headsets for more than an hour and not get my ears hurt. I don't know but I think I got very sensitive ear drums. I can't even talk on the phone for more than an hour. It makes my ears bleed. Thank God I'm not working in a Call Center.

No, I always keep the volume at minimum level and I hate disco houses because their music is too loud. Even talking on the phone for more than an hour hurt my ears too. Good thing because it means I won't spend too much on phone bills.
OK, but what good is music when you can't listen to it loud?! And when I go to a concert, I make sure that I am up front, and yes, my ears ring for a few days, but it is soooo worth it!
AC/DC you have to have loud, Pink Floyd you don't. I only use earphones periodically, and when I do, they're never up that loud. I guess I'm getting old.

I think ear health is rather like the smoking issue. Most people who are abusing themselves tend to know it's probably going to damage them at some unknown future point, but the here and now pleasure is too much to resist!
