Never in my life have I got ringing in my ears from headphones, or even earbuds.

Just watch the volume and you'll be fine.

I notice when I have headphones on my ears sometimes hurt or ring afterwards. When I listen with normal speakers, I don't seem to get that.
I don't know why that is, because I don't turn the headphones up that high.

"Hearing damage from headphones is probably more common than from loudspeakers, because many people exploit the acoustic isolation by listening at higher volumes. Moreover, the risk of hearing damage from headphones is higher than with loudspeakers, even at comparable volumes, due to the close coupling of the transducers to the ears. One of the benefits of headphone listening is the ability to detect musical details. Any hearing damage would have substantial impact on that experience..."
Your quote makes a good point about people exploiting the isolation and turning it higher, I often do that, but still nowhere near as high as what I hear in a nightclub.
I think if your ears are ringing for days it's fair to say you've done more damage to your eardrums. If I have my earphones ridiculously loud the transition feels a bit weird for a few seconds after taking them out, but that's it. A night out in a club can leave your head - and espescially ears - banging throughout the next couple of days. When I come back from a night out and the house is silent the silence is deafening that I can't get to sleep without music.

I agree that if you use common sense you won't hurt your ears while using headphones. That's why I like my Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's, you don't need to blast them to get quality sound and they've never caused any ringing.

If your fucking ears ring after you wear your headphones, turn the shit down. It's not too hard.
