I’m depressed and I wanna listen to music… 🥲

Its just fearmongering right?

I don’t max the volume, just turn it high enough to hear it, if I used speakers, I’d also turn it so that my ears detect the “same volume” so I don’t get why headphones is worse? Literally the same volume.

Also privacy, I don’t want others to know what I’m listening, the fuck lol.

    Trust me, you can get tinnitus from listening to very loud music just the once. I’ve had it since I stood next to a speaker during a concert. Why the speaker was so low down is beyond me. Wasn’t able to hear anything for a couple of hours and I’ve been hearing gas boiler noises ever since.

      People made fun of me for using foam ear plugs at a concert, and the occasional gun range idiot who throw various insults my way. Then I shoot my 7.5 inch ar and they either leave or get their own ear pro. Fucking chuds also I’m sorry you gotta deal with it. I’ve had a few episodes of it, but it’s nice not having it be a constant struggle. So I’m sorry you gotta deal with that. I also had a handful of “exploding head syndrome” moments and I honestly didn’t know which is worse.

        Sennheiser and other hifi companies make earplugs specially for concerts and for musicians themselves. You get quality sound, but quieter.

        On one hand, it’s funny that the issue of overly loud concerts exists in the first place and needs correction. On the other, hearing Amon Tobin at 5000 watt levels leads to a sudden realization that his music isn’t chill downtempo idm.
