yep continue, look at Beethoven he was completely deaf but didn't let that stop him!!
just watch your levels. For me the headphones are the killer, i get carried away and turn them too loud sometimes. I even got a spl meter and measured the output of my headphones so i know where is safe and where is not. Although this is apparently not 100% accurate due to the way your ear amplifies the sound
Apparently you can take 92 DB max for 4 hours or 88 DB max for 8 hours before permanent hearing loss
Having said this is still crank them up sometimes, which is just stupid
I know ive already caused some damage, just nothing too serious (as yet)
Canford audio will fit a limiter for round £150, which im considering

How can I measure the sound level if I am using headphones?

It didn't have to be a million dollars. Ever heard who tilted the kettle? DJ's from all over the world came for their chance at a 17*. When the time came, each DJ began to throw their coins in. The goal being to tilt the kettle. The gold begin to accumulate- coin by coin. DJ after DJ threw their gold in. Until it was my turn. I threw one gold piece the one with the Mickey Mouse Head on it, and tilted the kettle.
