I’m depressed and I wanna listen to music… 🥲
Its just fearmongering right?
I don’t max the volume, just turn it high enough to hear it, if I used speakers, I’d also turn it so that my ears detect the “same volume” so I don’t get why headphones is worse? Literally the same volume.
Also privacy, I don’t want others to know what I’m listening, the fuck lol.
Yeah, it is a bit more fatiguing on your ears but not dangerously so, what is important is to listen to your body and don’t push it too long for too loud. Your ears need breaks! It is weird but true.
What I would say is if you are turning up music on headphones to drown out something loud, that is when you are much more likely to hurt your ears without realizing. Try to get noise cancelling headphones if you find yourself doing that.
Listen to this guy OP. Don’t be like me and give yourself tinnitus by your early 20s listening to Nine Inch Nails full volume for hours on end. Aint worth it.
(not so) fun fact: tinnitus can cause chronic depression and anxiety! Ask me how I know …
Same, but SOAD
