how long do you guys think it takes for ear fatigue to set in ?

in my opinion there are so many factors that make a difference for me. Depends on how much I've slept, wich monitors I'm using, what kind of music I'm working with etc.

yup. Don't forget monitoring level, headphones vs. monitors, frequency of breaks. Taking a 5-minute break every half hour or so can do wonders for extending the onset of fatigue.

You might want to read up on what ear fatigue actually is....

Depends on the dynamics and volume of the music mostly for me. If I'm using too much compression I can wreck my ears in about 1-2 hours. Otherwise can go up to 8-9 hours if its late at night (no background noise at all) and I can turn it really low...

Yeah, this is true for me as well. A good night sleep can help a lot to get you started the next day. I usually don't feel like making music anyway when I'm basically already tired.

Agree with this one 100%. If I'm tired then I tend not to make good decisions, so I'll sleep and take a crack at it after a nap or a good night's sleep.

I'm wondering if I have a cold now. My ears get clogged up within five seconds of hearing something on my monitors (can't recall this happening to me before). This is weird because I never really listen to music at high volumes and keep the volume very low and out of headphones if possible.

I pray it's a cold -- I would hate for it to be something worse.
