Get a roll of duct tape and a friend. Hold one speaker up to each ear while the friend wraps them tight around your head. Use the whole roll. Any gaps bass will escape costing a few dB off the low end. Leave just enough space to breathe and suck a couple beers or dram of Scotch through a straw. Not quite concert ear damage but close.

Guess I will have to settle for 105. I don't listen at those levels often. It's not like being at a live concert. I think if it made 110 to 115 that would be ideal. I feel my ears strain at 107-108. I am sure you have been to live concerts where things rattle for a while afterwards. Once or twice a year is fine. I just want that occasionally. Since you have told me this is normal, I can go with it. BTW, my hearing is good. I appreciate all your input. Thanks! |
Careful with that "my hearing is good" line. I don't know how old you are, but hearing loss is typically a cumulative trauma. I knew a lot of smokers who went years without problems, but they paid the price when they got older. I don't know how old you are, but if symptoms do show up later, then it's too late. I know I've paid a price for some of my youthful folly! |

I am retirement age but still working. I know growing up, I abused my ears. I worked construction around heavy equipment for a long time then went back to college and earned a couple degrees and changed fields. Worked in a cement plant and drove trucks for about 15 years. I have worked in systems for the last 25 years. I guess I take good hearing for granted a bit. I have more trouble with my eyes as I age. Thanks for the concern. I appreciate it. |
