Something we all worry about:
1) Try and keep it low
2) Wear earplugs whenever possible (ie. clubs / concerts)
2-a) There are earplugs designed to filter out just the damaging ranges of sound
3) Give your ears a rest from time to time
and
4) Be smart, you only get one set of ears!

Another thing i always think of while listening with my headphones is that there has to be a lot of electronic radiation going stright into your head! Anyone know something about this? |
you dont get radiation from headphones. but if you listen to music loud enough in it for a long periods of time, you start to lose your hearing. their are these little hairs in your ear, i dont remember what they were called, but you start to lose themwhen you listen to music really loud. you can hear when you lose one too, its like a deafing sound in your ear for like a second, meaing you lost one. ya, best advice, dont listen to music with headphones unless it is necessary. also sitting inside the speakers at raves can damage your ears, just ask my brother, haha |

get a pair of these

or these
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7.../base_id/104018
if you're looking for a cheap way to protect your ears and still hear the music :)
I've seen a lot of people wearing them before at parties
I have a custom designed pair molded to fit my ear and made out of latex. You got to go to an audiologist for these and get a casting done. They were like $180 or something like that.
and it's a common misconception that your ears will adjust to the sound over time -- they will not, the little hairs that detect vibrations will just die out overtime and never get replaced, like neurons.
and tinnitus is a ringing in your ears, caused by the little nerve hairs getting messed up and telling your brain you're hearing stuff that isn't there (or, so I've read) |

I'd gone to a bunch of parties before getting the earplugs...I kind of had to get them because the noise was too much on my ears and it hurt to listen to the music. But, I'm still able to hear pretty well, and I get a little tinnitus, but not very often (like once a month or so).
I tend to keep them out a little during warm up sets when the party isn't so loud, and then put them in.
I wouldn't worry about it. You're probably fine :) |

I know that it deffo does damage your ears and all, but howcome in the 4.5 years I've been clubbing my ears are still fine?
Even after the heavy hard house phase of 2000?
Are some ppl's ears more resilient to the damage? |

After this one PvD set where he was real dodge with the treble(i was dancing next to the speakers for 4 hours too :rolleyes: ), my ears rang for a week :( i couldent take it anymore, and it was so in frustrating. I was getting stressed becuase i couldent sleep from the ringing ( i couldent even hear my clock ticking, thats how loud the ringing was :( ) anyway, so i went to the doctor, and he said it was tinitus (basically a brusing of the hairs in the ear drum ) and that it will eventually clear up. he said to watch out too becuase if may become chronic :nervous:
anyway, lieing down at night after a big night of racing on the streets, i sometimes get that ringing :nervous: |

Whether or not you need plugs depends on the club, if your ears start ringing then it's definitely time to use some protection though...after all, you can still feel the bass anyway :D
When I was into indie music I made the mistake of sitting/standing too close to the speakers several times and lost a significant amount of hearing in both of my ears (first left, than right primarily at two shows) and since then I'm a little more cautious whenever I'm at a live music venue...
The subject header is a little misleading, any type of loud noise/music can damage your hearing if you're not careful.
My general rule of thumb is to play it cautious, bring ear plugs, pop them in, and see how loud the music is with them in. In many cases you don't even realise how outrageously loud the system is until you put them in, pull them back out, and feel the sonic assault again, and quickly rush to shove them back in. :eek: |
