Hey @realworldaudio I was nowhere near that loud last time I had that sensation. More likely 70 to 70 dB at home.
I do regret you had to go to the ER for your situation though.
Best,
Erik
Has gear or a recording ever made your ears hot?
We've all had the experience of listening to electronics or speakers that were far too bright, or accentuated some frequency so much we had to run out of the room but have you ever felt your ears get literally hot from listening?
Like your outer ear feels like it's got an electric blanket on it. It's not a pleasant feeling at all.
If you've had this experience, what did you attribute it to?
