You tend to have less hearing loss listening to something you like versus something that's just scrutiny.

The combination of high-signal intensity and long listening duration is a proven formula for permanent, irreversible hearing loss.

I get a sense that you're really listening and hearing, and I commend you on that.

Even at 85 decibels, you may not experience it that day, that week or that year, [but] if you continue listening to noise at that level you could have [hearing] damage over time.

The classic way of telling is when you have ringing in your ears. It's a very common outcome of exposure to too loud of music.

The ear is so sensitive it can measure a vibration the width of the hydrogen molecule, and I'm watching this guy's windows vibrate [at a stop light].
