There are man youngsters who do prefer listening to loud music as they don't really care for the impact it makes in their ears.I somehow don't even like anything in loud sound and i have also heard some people having severe problem of their ears hearing to loud music and most of the time it is the case of youngsters glued into listening to heavy metal songs.What about you? have you ever faced any ear problems so far by listening to loud music?

When I was young I do really put my radio near my ears and LOUDLY as I can didn't know that it will affect my ears . It's too late right now that I have lost my hearing at my left ear and had been suffering for tinitis which is ringing of ear. But in my right ear is ok for now I hope there's a cure on it, only hearing aide but it's very expensive to buy cannot afford to get one.

I am really sorry to hear this from you as you are in a position of repenting later on in your life which you were not understanding in your earlier stage of younger life isn't it? maybe some youngsters do read these lines from you and stop hearing to loud music atleast from now on as prevention is better than cure isn't ti? having said all these, i wish you will get cured at the earliest

Thanks for your deeply concerned to one of my problems, I hope young people can see this comments as a suggestion to them. And don't use ipod it will damage your eardrum also.

I always listen to my music at a moderate level, I can't stand listening to loud music. My friend listens to very loud screamo music and I can tell by time goes by that it definitely has impacted his hearing capability. It comes to a point where he said that listening to music on his iPhone at full blast isn't loud enough for him. Pity.

Most of the youngsters today want to hear music in very loud voice as we see them hearing to heavy metal and all in very loud voice.I hate heavy metal songs as my favorite is listening to soft songs which most of the times do relax me a lot.Listening to music can also be a great relaxer if we hear it properly with low volume and not with high volume

Not by listening too loud music, I did have some severe ear pain watching Netherlands-Denmark at school. The only spot left was close to the speakers, oh well, the fun did compensate a bit. :)

Now what is Netherlands-Denmark at school? is it any kind of drama played in your school or something else ? sorry i didn't get you properly here.I feel at least you are aware of the bad consequences of hearing to loud music now isn't ti? if we understand these bad effects then it is more than enough as many people don't understand this and teer lies the actual problem

I have had ear problems but not by listening to music. I listen to music and i love it. But i do take care of my ears when i listen to music. Precaution is better than cure.

I know one friend of mine who was just crazy about music and i have seen him with music player all the time with head phones plugged into his ears, but also he is just mad of listening heavy metal since very young age and that craze of his wasn't gone even after he grew up and now he is having heavy ear problems and undergoing treatment.I really feel sorry for him,, but he was not listening to anyone at his young age and moreover he is not old even now also

YES. IT HAPPENS. ESPECIALLY AFTER YOU SEE A SHOW! Tinnitus, a ringing sound in the ears. Its annoying but eventually goes away. A lot of performers have permenant tinnitus due to years of exposure to loud music.

Oh is it so and i didn't hear to this new word "Tinnitus" and you are familiar with this here.But whatever, it is really bad to expose ourselves to heavy volume as the effect of which will be known later in life and sometimes it does effect ears at very young age also.So, it is better to avoid such things instead o repenting later on in life isn't it?
