How bad is it to listen to loud music?DOES IT DO ANYTHING REALLY BAD TO MY EARS?

Question

I live listening to music on my mp3 player on FULLBLAST!

what damage does it do to my ears and if i stop will my ears Heal?

Answer 1

Over time it will damage your ear drums severely and will cause deafness if you do not turn it down. If you stop early enough, your ears will heal somewhat, but after a certain point of damage they cannot heal themselves anymore and will be damaged permanently.  

Answer 2

It makes your hearing bad and no if you stop your ears won't heal. If you keep doing it your hearing will get even worse so I'd advise you to stop listening to your ipod at such a high volume.

Answer 3

Listening to loud music can cause hearing problems later on.  If you stop now you should be fine.

Answer 4

HEARING LOSS is the result of music on fullblast.

Any loud noise, over an extended period of time will cause hearing loss.

That's why employees on the flight deck of airplanes wear ear coverings, construction people using jackhammers wear them too.  So it's not music, it's LOUD NOISE, over a long length of time!!

Answer 5

You're going to be deaf at 30ish its ok though my friend did it he just wears hearing aids. Good job. and No it doesn't heal when the damage is done its done.

BTW nobody around you wants to listen to what you are listening to turn it down you crazy kid

Answer 6

It's horrible!!

Answer 7

You have little hairs in your ears that pick up the sound waves and transmit them to the eardrum. Listening to music too loud for too long can kill those hairs, which makes it harder to pick up the sound waves and to hear. Those hairs don't ever grow back so I wouldn't do it too often if I were you.  

Answer 8

It damages your ears immensely, and once hearing is lost, it wont come back naturally, you'll have to get hearing aids or something of the sort.
