Question

What will happen to your ears when you turn on the radio to the loudest volume?

Answer 1

PARDON???

Answer 2

Depends on the radio and any attached amplifiers and speakers.

If it hurts your ear, you may have already suffered permanent damage! Lower levels over time can also cause permanent damage.

If you can hear it outside the car with the windows closed, chances are that it's high enough to cause damage to your ears.

The only way to tell is to measure the sound level with a sound level meter.

What ears - they just fall off.

You do understand that anything over a certain DB level will cause permanent hearing loss! As will constant or continued exposure to high levels over time!  How do you spell deaf?

Answer 5

you could burst your eardrums and deafen yourself.

Answer 6

Ringing in the ears (Tinnitus) = bad; it's actually the side effect of cilia in your ear dying... And they never grow back.

Sounds that are too loud or loud sounds that last a long time can damage sensitive structures in our inner, causing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). These sensitive structures, called hair cells, are small sensory cells in the inner ear that convert sound energy into electrical signals that travel to the brain. Once damaged, our hair cells cannot grow back.
