QUOTE(Muz1234 @ Jul 27 2020, 12:12 AM) yes and it is not too late. you can reset back the way you hear. the next listening session, start at a lower volume and work your way up. take note that not all volume is the same in devices. if you use headphones a lot during commuting or outside, now is a good time to invest in a noise cancelling headphones. because most of the time, headphones have poor seal and outside noise will leak into your headphone, which naturally will make one to crank up their volume. if you wanna test your hearing (accuracy of the result is debatable), try here and run the test. SoundID good luck! BLINKiesss and stryfox liked this post

The noise will blow away the hairs in your cochlea, like a hurricane blowing down lalang. https://www.soundlife.com.my/what-is-noise-...ring-loss-nihl/ https://www.news-medical.net/health/Prevent...aring-Loss.aspx |

Short answer is Yes.
I have done some headphone test, to check the quality of my headphone, only to realised that both of my ears have different level of sensitivity to frequency and volume. |

I enjoy listening to music most of the time, and where I live, and with my younglings, I don't have the luxury of using speakers. Good headphones are a blessing. It all started with an open-back headphone, my wife is complaining that she can hear the music that I am listening to (it's given though, by design). Hence, the attempt to lower down the volume. |

Ya don't put the volume too loud. Or else can use external speakers. High-end speakers may sound better than headphones too
