just a note. you can have tinnitus without hearing damage as well. it can be triggered by stress or come and go at random for no reason. but the ones who have tinnitus are the ones very aware of how loud everything is. and as for me, coming from a person with tinnitus. do not risk it. it’s okay to be a party pooper and make your friends turn down the volume. its that vs a life of trying to mange tinnitus. tinnitus can be treated with therapy to the point where it’s past someone’s awareness.. but it’s VERY difficult. when it hit me i felt anxiety like i’ve never felt before, many people have killed themselves bc of it and if i’m being honest i could see why. i’m still working on it, i am better but it’s still always there. seriously, just be a lil more protective. caring for your health is cool, you’re just around unhealthy habits most likely.

[@Kteeep]

Good video, but two points I stumbled over: 1. Different headphones have different impedances. That means they play at a different volume when they receive the same signal. So the comparison might have been flawed unless you measured the volume output of the headphones instead of looking how loud your phone is set. 2. You compared the subway station to your office with the term 'twice as loud'. The decibel scale is logarithmic which means that an increase of 10 db is perceived as double the loudness to the human ear. That's all, thank you and keep on creating good content.

[@EtherTheReal]

I assume you talk about 1dB:10dB and not just +10dB on any volume, right? Please say you meant that

[@czmik]

+10 db means 2x loudness, so 90 db is 2x as loud as 80db. Decibels are a logarithmic scale and can be confusing.

[@azmah1999]

@@EtherTheReal Nope he's exactly right. By going from 70dB to 80dB you double the intensity of the sound (with a gross simplification, basically you double the energy of the sound) just as much as going from 0dB to 10dB. This is because the scale is what we call logarithmic. If you wonder why we use that weird logarithmic nonsense, it's because it is somewhat similar to how our ears interpret volume.

I'm 23 and i currently have tinnitus due to a concert, it happened so fast, there was a loud sharp sound and i didn't cover my ears, seconds after i had this terrible ringing and after i got out all i was hearing was muffled sounds. I've done a lot of tests and fortunately (except for the tinnitus itself) i don't have any other damages like, for example a hearing nerve damage. Despite this i had this VERY loud ringing and hissing in my right ear (and a slight on in my left ear) for about a year, i had to wear earplugs almost anytime because every sound hurt my ears. It was like having the whole ocean blasting right in my ear with a loud ringing (almost like a drill) at the 3000Hz frequency. For the first few months i had trouble hearing, sleeping, talking (my own voice was too loud), going out.. the first time i went out to see a movie i had to bring earplugs with me. Many years have passed and fortunately the ringing has improved a lot, now i can do everything i did before (like going to concerts) but unfortunately i still have a subtle ringing in both my ears, it's like a torture. I miss the sound of silence at bed or at night. Despite that often my brain filters out the subtle ringing and this gives me some peace.. be freaking careful guys.

It’s important to note that all dB scales are actually not linear, but logarithmic. A 3dB increase is a doubling in power and we perceive an increase of about 10dB to be a doubling in volume. So a jump from say a 50dB SPL office environment to a 100dB SPL subway station is not actually a doubling in perceived loudness but a 5x increase.

Read Castor Ringging for a small amount of time... That's called tinnitus. What the other guy was talking about is different most electronics emit a constant sine tone and the tone is less noticeable when said device is doing something or turned off. The sound can be eliminated when there is no power running through the device. Many popular devices emit these high frequency sounds though it is getting less and less common as time goes on. Most devices are completely silent to humans producing sounds that make noise way outside of the frequency ranges we can hear... Though in my case there are strange sounds produced by equipment that I can hear and that show up as noise in the radio spectrum (far outside of all known animals hearing capabilities). This is unusual and chances are you cannot hear what I'm hearing. I also assume the original commentor wasn't referring to these kinds of noises.

For some, their brain probably can’t handle such loud noises, and would instantly wither your ability to hear properly. For the more lucky folks, their brains can be susceptible to the loud sounds more often than usual, thus, they’ll be fine for a long while. TL;DR Our brains are different in handling noises.

[@dave5194]

I've had tinnitus ever since I was a little kid. I've learned to live with it, but I definitely miss the silence of earplugs which ironically makes the ringing loudest because there's no background noise to distract from the ringing

[@__-fm5qv]

Same I can't every remember not having it tbh. But in fairness I believe mine is a fairly mild case. The ringing is quite high (sounds like an old tv so like 15500 Hz) and fairly quiet, is its quite easy to tune out. I actually used to listen to it at night as a little kid to help me sleep xD.

[@EtherTheReal]

@@__-fm5qv hell no, i thought i was mad for hearing this tv sound all the time, i thought i damagef my ears bc i listen too loud to music, thanks for sharing your...noise experience(?), the reason i even listen to music is to concentrate because this ringing tv sound is too distracting

[@__-fm5qv]

Well what I hear is pretty much exactly a tv sound, but less intense. I haven't got it through any external reason I believe, it's something I remember having as young as 5 or so, can't remember much before then. I've never listened to music loudly at all most of my friend comment "why is it so quiet" when I try and share some music or something and then have to turn it up for them. It's just a normal thing for me so I've never found it distracting. And sometimes focusing on it to block out noise around me, ie when I want to sleep and there's that damn fly in the corner buzzing xD.

[@raeau6499]

Me too! I've had it since young, and I always thought it was a normal thing for everyone. Sometimes it's really annoying especially alone in a car that it's engine has been turned off, the ringing gets so irritating that I have to turn on the music in my phone.

[@onlylonly888]

Me too having this mild high pitch humming sound when the surrounding is extremely quiet or when i used an ear plug. I too never find it distracting, in fact, i know it is quiet whenever i hear this familiar tv sound. I often used it to relax my brain. Listening on it make me fall asleep most of the time. I thought it was normal as i felt it as young as i can remember

Agiver Reviga I was thinking the same thing. The volume is too loud in those theaters. But then again, you're only there for about 2 to 3 hours max and there isn't a constant noise because the movie has more quiet scenes sometimes and the action scenes don't really last throughout the entire movie. But, still, those speakers are pretty loud.

It supposedly affected only a certain part of the 1000X, but people also had problems with units outside of the serial number range they provided.

Most people aren’t concerned about hearing loss thinking that they are going to be fine UNTIL the damage is done and the deed is completed. Please do not have that mindset. At 14 (few weeks ago) I used to listen to music all day on my headphones. Well not literally but you know what I’m saying. Then when I got tinnitus I refrained myself from listening to any music. It was not that bad easy to cope with but the fear of getting it worse and incessant overruled everything else. Thankfully after attempting to go to sleep to calm myself down a little, my tinnitus was only temporary and went away. I don’t want to harbor the thought of having a constant ringing in your ears 24/7. Sleeping wouldn’t be so comfortable anymore..

Highly recommend ISOtunes PRO headphones. Passive noise reduction rated at -27dB. Use them all the time when commuting and swear by them!

[@bryanwoolbertmusic]

Question: When using noise-cancelling headphones solely to noise-cancel to produce white noise, or equal and opposite waveforms to our environment, does this (alone) have the ability to damage our hearing (because it is creating sound which is being sent to our ears), or is it protecting our hearing (because the equal and opposite “cancellation” creates a zero-stress point on the nerve endings? Basically, does the white noise produced by noise-cancelling headphones apply pressure to the nerve endings in the ear, and is it equivalent to that of the surrounding environment? Or does it cancel the pressure of the environment and thus protect the ear in doing so?I’m a music producer, curious as to how it works.

[@yamnjam]

One point they didn't mention is to leave a way for the sound to escape the ear too. I wear my headphones slightly off my ear so the sound waves don't reverberate and assault my eardrums. With earbuds, I never put them all the way in the ear. I leave them slightly out. You don't want to create a seal with headphones/earbuds where the sound waves have no escape. (Unless they're noise-cancelling). Tinnitus is the worst...constant ringing, esp when you're trying to go to sleep.
