Speaker Volume

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!

   mlsstl   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. 

110-115db. WOW!! To each his own. I personally have no desire to be around anything that loud anymore. One night we had friends over for dinner,and after many drinks we’d headed in to my audio room,and started listening at rather spirited volume. I checked my SL app on my phone(I know,not great) but it was peaking at about 95db. It sounded nice and clear,but WAY too loud for my taste. Like I said,to each his own.
