Are you all exposed to listening to loud music?

I some times listen to loud music and some times soft music. It depends on what I'm doing. I love listen to loud music when I clean. but if I'm just sitting around I'll listen to it softly.

Anything too much is bad. Exposure to loud music for a long time can really cause mild deafness. But I think once in a while is ok, I remember going to a concert and I was near a loud speaker, after a few minutes I felt something in my ears. To my surprise its a small piece of dry earwax that somehow with continuous vibration it just fell off. It really was a funny experience. ;)

It seems that every one almost has an individual special method to decrease pressure or let off steam. Compared with yours,I perfer soft music a bit more.I think it is totally OK and not harmful for you to listen to loud music casually unless all the time every day.But I am sort of afraid that maybe your neighbours will protest against your habit sometimes because of the noise disturbance. Maybe you can wear earphone instead.

I love listening to metal music and I have developed this liking since I was in college and I love to listen to the band I like, my family do not quite appreciate it and I have to listen to the metal music in my Mp4 only or in my laptop.

well i used to be exposed when i was clubbing and such but not anymore. Im also afraid of losing some of my hearing so i dont do that anymore. they say a lot of bass and such can affect your heart but i havent seen it personally

I've gone to quite a few metal shows in my day and those were really loud and I know that definitely effected my ears. As we get older, our hearing tends to decrease anyway and so now I put in those little sponge ear things if I know I'm going to a show that's going to be loud and I try (though it's hard) to not have the volume turned all the way up when I have my headphones in. I have cheap, crappy headphones so you can barely hear it unless I turn up the volume quite a bit. I think headphones may just be bad for your ears in general, regardless of what volume you have them on. It sucks.

When I was way younger, I listen to music very loud as if our ceiling and roofs are moving already. But I felt something aching in my ears and I worried about my eardrums. That is why now, I just listen to music just enough for me to hear and relax. Now, even if the sound is really good but if it is very loud, I don't enjoy it much already. So we really have to take care of our ears by avoiding to much noise or loudness.
