O'Ari I did 5 minutes of research and found stuff saying that you won't do permanent eye damage to yourself by going on a computer, you can cause your eyes to hurt or have annoying symptoms temporarily and get a syndrome but you won't deal permanent damage to your eyes.
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.
Guys the point of wearing ear plugs at concerts was really glossed over here, the decibel levels at gigs and clubs are really really high so you should never go out without them. You should get the specialised pairs you can find in guitar shops that allow the music to pass through with high fidelity, they're only like 14 euro.
As someone with tinnitus, don't tempt it. Imagine the ringing in your ears after a concert or night out, except ALL of the time. when you eat, when you work, when you sleep. Sticking fingers in your ears only make it worse.
Lashan if you hear ringing only like once or twice a month and only for a few seconds? Is that caused by Tinnitus? Or can it happen occasionally for other reasons?
Two months ago, i was diagnosed with sudden hearing loss in my right ear. The doctos say other factors like stress play a big part in this but earphone use is also detrimental. I used them everyday outside and i can really understand what she said about subway stations. I am only 21 and I used to think that everyone else just uses their earphones so why cant i too? But now i know that age doesnt make any excuses. When you're healthy, don't take it for granted. There's so many beautiful sounds we have to listen to. We're yet to listen to.

Just so you know, it probably wasn't your earphones. Sudden loss, especially in one ear, is often caused by an infection or swelling. It's not your fault
As someone who's been living with tinnitus for over 15 years (currently 31 years old) due to mostly loud music, going to festivals without wearing any hearing protection, I can't stress the importance of proper sound exposure enough. Once you have it, it doesn't go away. Now, I'm cautious about my sound exposure, but it's already too late. Hearing is a precious gift, so be safe with it.
@@angel_withaflamethrower Suffering from it since 2017. It was difficult to sleep at first, but adjusted to it in 5-10 days and had no problem ever since.
I just found an article stating that Ear Cochlear Hairs could be regrown in the future... since mammals are the only vertebrates unable to do so, we could replicate the sorcery that birds, reptiles and others do to promote cell growth and hearing recovery.
Because that "0 to 100" refers to the power output of the device your using. Decibels, in the other end, refer to loudness level, and there are more elements to it than the power... The impedance of the speaker(this means, how much power do you need to use for a speaker to reach a certain volume), the size of the speaker, their position, your position (it's not the same using speakers at 6-8ft from you, than using in-ear earphones at, what... 4-6cm from your ear drums?). That's why. (PS: I really hope this helped to you!) Have a nice day!
@@disguisedcat1750 You can get a decibel meter app, and hold your earphones up to your device's microphone. make sure you put the earphones right on the microphone to get an accurate reading, because that's how close they are to you when they're in your ears
@@automnejoy5308 then it should have been phrased that way instead of implying this is irrelevant because Germany has certain laws in place. This information is necessary for other people and nations who may not be aware or have these safeguards in place.
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 can also come from wax being in your ears (apparently). I've heard ringing in my ears every few months since I was a kid, and I hate earphones/headphones; I rarely use 'em. My hearing is pretty decent. It's not amazing, and it's hard to make out stuff when people talk to me in crowded places, but it's pretty normal, I'd say. I doubt there are any deep problems with my hearing. Point is, ringing is disturbing in more ways than one, but I wouldn't count on hearing it occasionally to be that bad a sign.
smart but maybe not so smart because by the time 10-25 year olds reach an age that the damage materialises there’ll probably be new technologies used to deal with hearing loss.
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 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 like “loud” music like rock and metal, and I’ve always worried about hearing loss. Watching this video has given me some peace as I’ve never experienced ringing in my ears, whether listening to music at home or after a concert. (Ear plugs for concerts are a God-send)
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.
As someone who has been suffering with tinnitus and partial hearing loss for a long time, pay attention here. You don't want to damage your ears, it suuuuucks. Ringing in your ears is basically your own personal 24/7 torture that you can never escape from. Protect your hearing!
My tinnitus started when I was 18. I'm 24 now. I feel it just gets worst and worst every year, and I just try not to think about how I'm going to deal with this the rest of my life, or if I'll ever actually go deaf. TURN THE VOLUME DOWN.
@@oceanpacific3841 Well I don't know it for certain, but I was the silly teenager that HAD to be listening to music all the time. I was pretty much always wearing headphones and I would frequently set the volume way too loud. I'm pretty sure it was that. :/
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.
Yeah sometimes what sounds like ringings is just a high frequency sound that only younger people can hear. Because as you get older your range of hearing gets worse.
Callinater really? When its pretty quiet, Theres this constant,not really ringing sound but a high pitched long beep, but its like Im not really hearing it. Idk its really weird, it feels like my ears are making the sound
Coil whine is a bad stuff... My motherboard does that, my keyboard, gamepad and monitor too. Fortunately keyboard was fixable through FW update, monitor when using any USB device and gamepad does that only when on sleep mode so I unplug it.
my friend blasts music on his walkman, using earphone close to max volume since he was 13, almost on daily basis for 4-5 hours per day. by the age of 22, he got tinnitus. take care ur ears ppl. dont take it for granted.
My friend sometimes forces me to raise to volume to like 90% on a laptop, which already amplifies the audio to ear-rape level at 50%. He says he feels the music much more, but as a person who uses FL studio and has created some music, I'd say that raising the volume doesn't help at all for me at recognising the instruments and stuff in the music. It's just infuriating.
No, I don't give in. He just wants me to do so. Haha, I just reduce the volume anyways. But it's still kinda weird how he can listen to it at that volume.
Since I got noise cancelling headphones (Bose quiet comfort 2) I have been consistently using my volume below halfway on my phone. Going from almost always using ear buds that were around 75% of the volume feels like an improvement
My earbuds have such a shape that music gets directly to the inner ear. I used to think they are super premium, they have a nice bass etc, but now I'm afraid xD
The warning doesn't really help you, there are many parameters that decide how loud it actually is. For example I have 2 pairs of in ears, one is twice as loud at the same settings
@@bats9218 well, that was what I thought too... I never turned the volume up louder than the warning but wore them for hours and hours, even continued when I had a headache... now I have a light tinnitus
I got tinnitus from standing too close to a speaker that I didn't even think was unbearably loud once when going out. Don't play with your ears guys, constant ringing isn't cool. Wear plugs when you go to loud venues.
This may be a bit of a stretch on my part, but I feel that since we all think differently from one another, then that must mean different brain structure. The sounds we hear are what our brains perceive, mostly from the noises our ears capture. This could also come into account from the way our brains handle that noise. 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.
I avoid loud parties anyway because they give me headaches & make me tired long before I even get there... Not to mention horribly distorted music because people seem to only like bass nowadays instead of actual music...
the distorted music isn't a problem with the bass its just that people there turned up the bass on their speakers above the levels of what bass they can produce however if they had more high quality speakers that can make bass that deep it would sound amazing
My friends always laugh at me when I wear headphones at concerts or in the rehersal room. Sure, it looks weird, but at least it doesn't hurt. I've experienced that ringing many times so I'd rather take care of my ears.
You can lower the volume and still hear them. It’s just a matter of getting used to it. You say it’s the “price you pay” now, but in the future, if you have hearing loss, you will surely regret it
Idk seriously those idiots blast it so loud i can even hear the sound when they wear headphones. Like for real doesn't that hurt your ear physically? How can anyone withsand it for that long?
Yo this is so important, I'm glad I found this video. I've been listening to music from my phone with my earphones with full volume when I take the trains or taxi for 12 years now! I even love to listen to loud music since I was kid whenever I'm gonna sleep, my mom always take the headphones away when I fall asleep. I just love the loud music, with the bass and all that. I think I hear a long beep sound but it almost unnoticeable. I'm so scared. I don't want to lose hearing, its like being dead to me as a music lover and a musician. From now on, I'm gonna listen to music not more than 50% volume for standard music volume level. Thank you for saving me before its too late
Man I'm glad to ear this coz I HAVE BEEN HEARING IN LOUD VOLUME FOR 1 YEAR AND SO SCARED THAT I WOULD LOSE MY HEARING(I have nosophobia)...but gained some confidence that there are PPL who are like me for 13 years..😅
@@KumarT-m6v yeah, I was so lucky and feeling grateful that my ear is so strong. Glad that we're not too late. Feel sorry for those who had those hearing diseases. Stay safe and take care!
I'm a musician and when I rehearse with my band I always use ears protection but the other guys like guitarists don't so I ask them every time aren't you afraid you're losing your hearing?
I used to be in the same boat of not using hearing protection until I started playing with a real drummer in a very small inclosed room, now I wear them no matter where or when doing music. Not being able to hear well, as a dedicated musician, is probably one of the scariest things right below no longer being able to play anymore
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.
How are you doing now ,do you still have it ? I've had ringing in my ears for three days now ,I listened to loud music and podcast all the time but not anymore , and lately I've been stressed maybe it will go away once the stress goes away, I'm getting anxiety about this
@@rampaul497 Noise became quiet now. I still have it but it doesnt bother me at all. Watch this channel Julian Cowan Hill. My tinnitus became very quiet because i followed all his advices.
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..
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
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.
@@__-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
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.
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.
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
Mare or stallion, There's far more inside So far so good, I thought they fixed that issue with Mark 2s? Regardless, I take care of my stuff so they should be fine.
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. It was an obvious flaw but the same design was used in the second gen. m.imgur.com/gallery/GY36q But in the end it's just a higher chance of breaking than usual.
vgman94 I tried those and you may be right about the comfortability part but the overall sound profile and ANC is much better on 1000xmk2 and I don't regret the decision even if it costs a bit extra.
Mom : Using Mobile Phones for long time damages eyesight 🤨 Me : Okay, I am putting on headphones 🙂 Mom : Headphones damage your ears 🤨 Me : I am shifting to Braille 😂
I've got constant tinnitus for three years or so. It's especially nerve wrecking when you're trying to catch a moskito and are not able to locate its sound properly.
4:39 STOP WITH THE SPINNING! This video is actually making me so nauseous. (Maybe I have some issue with my inner ear, since I get dizzy quickly even just taking notes in class looking up at the board and down at my paper, and I have tinnitus...)
1:22 I had tinnitus from pretty early age, but I only notice it when it's quiet. I can hear my parents whispering in the other room (if the door isn't shut, ofc) while recognizing what they're talking about though, so idk.
1:23 I've had ringing in my ears for as long as I can remember, and I only found out last year that other people don't hear ringing when in silence... I always heard from people that they hate silence and would turn on a fan, but they do that to drown out noises in the night, but I use a fan to distract me from the ringing... I also want to say that everyone has tinnitus differently, for me it's high pitched and faint, if I focus on it (including accidentally remembering it's there) then I can hear it. 2:19 I do. I'm always focusing on the volume around me. I use volume measuring apps to see how loud the environment is, and I always carry around a little case with a pair of ear plugs in it for emergency's when it's really loud. (Such as a pep rally at school.))
But.....I'm never going to quit being an electronic musician, out of fear of losing some of my hearing. (So far it hasn't happened...that I can tell. I know this because I have no problem hearing very fine details in my work. Phones, monitors, or loudspeakers. )
doesn't mean you can't do things to help save your ears, maybe certain filtering out earplugs can help or a replacing old earpads (or headphones). but djs and muscians are notorious for suffering from hearing loss just because their constant exposure during producing and performing. regardless of gear
Naim Noor they can‘t. Every headphone is different when it comes to the power needed to drive headphones. One pair might be louder than another one at the same „Output“ of the phone.
Yes, noise cancellation is important in headphones. I have Shure se425s (isolating monitor earbuds). They are very good at cancelling sound. I didn't hear the subway behind me, though I felt the breeze (New Yorkers know how refreshing that warm gust of urine vapors and rat farts feels in the summer as the trains go by). I never have my volume over 20%.
I got tinnitus from headphones listen to music and watching movies - now I have ringing in my ears 24/7 and it never stops you cannot cure this either most times its for life. Doctors cant deal with it or treat it to make it better its just goes worse if you expose yourself to more loud noise. I sold my headphones long ago and only using the stereo system I have and I have the ringing in my ears for almost a year now.
I was worried until she said she had to turn her AirPods on max volume. I got those since a year and never ever reached max volume level because everything above 80% hurts my ears. Even driving at 80 mph with all windows down I still got them around 70% and it's loud enough.
How much light in my room can be regarded safe? Does too much of ambient light affect my eyes in any way in the long run, or do our pupils compensate for such occasions?
2:02 This is different from what I have learnt in occupational safety before. You need to halve the time for every increase in 3 dB, because the noise is doubled for every 3 dB (10*log(2) ~= 3); for an increase in 10 dB, you need to reduce the listening time 10 times (in minutes). Please correct me if I am wrong. Reference: "Make Listening Safe - World Health Organization" PDF
To Peter Diamandis he’d say you can’t fix hearing loss...currently. I mean they also said you couldn’t fix brain damage until they injected stem cells into brains and it fixed it. ColdFusion talks about that. Though you should also protect your ears.

I just found an article stating that Ear Cochlear Hairs could be regrown in the future... since mammals are the only vertebrates unable to do so, we could replicate the sorcery that birds, reptiles and others do to promote cell growth and hearing recovery.
Heard Auditory integration training (AIT) could help
All devices should change their volume interface, instead of "0 till 100" why not in decibels?
Because decibels depend on the speaker or headphones.
Because that "0 to 100" refers to the power output of the device your using. Decibels, in the other end, refer to loudness level, and there are more elements to it than the power... The impedance of the speaker(this means, how much power do you need to use for a speaker to reach a certain volume), the size of the speaker, their position, your position (it's not the same using speakers at 6-8ft from you, than using in-ear earphones at, what... 4-6cm from your ear drums?). That's why. (PS: I really hope this helped to you!) Have a nice day!
@@zyk0758 it did but then how do I actually measure decibles coming out of my in ear earphones..
@@disguisedcat1750 You can get a decibel meter app, and hold your earphones up to your device's microphone. make sure you put the earphones right on the microphone to get an accurate reading, because that's how close they are to you when they're in your ears
Differentlevel inputs have different level outputs. A whisper at 100 is quieter than screaming at 80 volume level

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.
Does almost everything that we do today affect us badly in someway in the future?
*Yes*
Not right is it
But so TRUE
No but actually Yes
yes, but there's no excuse to be reckless.
just think what master roshi would say............oh wait
Right bro
Dang, I didn't think much about the ringing in my ears
it can also come from stress, it doesn't have to be from actual damage, especially when your young
It can also come from wax being in your ears (apparently).
I've heard ringing in my ears every few months since I was a kid, and I hate earphones/headphones; I rarely use 'em.
My hearing is pretty decent. It's not amazing, and it's hard to make out stuff when people talk to me in crowded places, but it's pretty normal, I'd say. I doubt there are any deep problems with my hearing.
Point is, ringing is disturbing in more ways than one, but I wouldn't count on hearing it occasionally to be that bad a sign.
Oh man, so glad to see these comments to calm my low-key panicking..

My ears ring all the time...
Your ears can also create its own noise since your ears are a microphone and a speaker.
Gina Linetti's new job looks so good !
Why did I think of her too???

That’s why I’ve invested in companies that make hearing aids. Playing the long game!
Ryan Thomas That’s actually pretty smart with 60% of college students i see wearing Airpods and needing to turn them up way too mich.
Ryan Thomas This is why I wear two cochlear implants.
This is how I became permanently deaf at 12 years old because of it.
smart but maybe not so smart because by the time 10-25 year olds reach an age that the damage materialises there’ll probably be new technologies used to deal with hearing loss.
YOOOOO THIS IS SMART
when humans start using 100% of their brain
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.
I assume you talk about 1dB:10dB and not just +10dB on any volume, right? Please say you meant that
+10 db means 2x loudness, so 90 db is 2x as loud as 80db. Decibels are a logarithmic scale and can be confusing.
@@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.
@@azmah1999 thanks for the elaborate answer, i shouldve paid more attention to physics class, thanks to you its now clear!
@@EtherTheReal You're welcome ;)

Maybe the next video should be about that bad posture at 1:27 now that we are suddenly talking about health...
I like “loud” music like rock and metal, and I’ve always worried about hearing loss. Watching this video has given me some peace as I’ve never experienced ringing in my ears, whether listening to music at home or after a concert. (Ear plugs for concerts are a God-send)
Soon it's going to be a reality
Jokes on you, I'm a percussionist. I've already damaged my hearing.
Really thats very sad
How ??? Is that really bad ...
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.
6dB is a doubling.
aceyage yeah you’re actually right with SPL/voltage. +3dB is a doubling in power/sound intensity level. Thanks.
I believe +3db is doubling power, +6db is doubling wave amplitude, and +10db is doubling perceived volume.
If a 10dB increase correlates to a 2x perceived loudness, wouldn't a 50dB increase sound like a 32x perceived increase in volume?
Yes that"s how we get those numbers regarding how long we can withstand the sound
*"Watching this video"* *Casually turns down volume*
Keepin' it cas, good for you.
I jumped straight to panic. Haven't figured out my next move yet.
As someone who has been suffering with tinnitus and partial hearing loss for a long time, pay attention here. You don't want to damage your ears, it suuuuucks. Ringing in your ears is basically your own personal 24/7 torture that you can never escape from. Protect your hearing!
@Josas _ buy noise cancelling ones from sony or bose if you haven't already. Pretty much the same price
Who else is watching this with headphones on?
My tinnitus started when I was 18.
I'm 24 now.
I feel it just gets worst and worst every year, and I just try not to think about how I'm going to deal with this the rest of my life, or if I'll ever actually go deaf.
TURN THE VOLUME DOWN.

Was caused it if you don't mind me asking?
@@oceanpacific3841 Well I don't know it for certain, but I was the silly teenager that HAD to be listening to music all the time. I was pretty much always wearing headphones and I would frequently set the volume way too loud.
I'm pretty sure it was that. :/
@@lauracamvehow is it now do you still have it
@@lauracamve how are you doing now?? Is it still as bad?
Keep in mind the ringing can sometimes be what's emitted from electronics around the room your in.
Everest I hope so. She scared me with that! Lol. Mine ring occasionally for a couple seconds and then goes away. So hopefully I'm good.
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.
Yeah sometimes what sounds like ringings is just a high frequency sound that only younger people can hear. Because as you get older your range of hearing gets worse.
Callinater really? When its pretty quiet, Theres this constant,not really ringing sound but a high pitched long beep, but its like Im not really hearing it. Idk its really weird, it feels like my ears are making the sound
Coil whine is a bad stuff... My motherboard does that, my keyboard, gamepad and monitor too. Fortunately keyboard was fixable through FW update, monitor when using any USB device and gamepad does that only when on sleep mode so I unplug it.
my friend blasts music on his walkman, using earphone close to max volume since he was 13, almost on daily basis for 4-5 hours per day. by the age of 22, he got tinnitus.
take care ur ears ppl. dont take it for granted.
Your friend is an idiot.
My friend sometimes forces me to raise to volume to like 90% on a laptop, which already amplifies the audio to ear-rape level at 50%. He says he feels the music much more, but as a person who uses FL studio and has created some music, I'd say that raising the volume doesn't help at all for me at recognising the instruments and stuff in the music. It's just infuriating.
GeeJay Jonathan forces? Wtf are you so weak?
No, I don't give in. He just wants me to do so. Haha, I just reduce the volume anyways. But it's still kinda weird how he can listen to it at that volume.
Your friend still uses a Walkman?!
This video really helped me learn to not listen to volume at dangerous levels. Thanks, Ashley!
thanks Obama

Since I got noise cancelling headphones (Bose quiet comfort 2) I have been consistently using my volume below halfway on my phone. Going from almost always using ear buds that were around 75% of the volume feels like an improvement
Absolutely love videos like this!
My earbuds have such a shape that music gets directly to the inner ear. I used to think they are super premium, they have a nice bass etc, but now I'm afraid xD
just use a volume that's loud enough but doesn't get too loud
just listen to some earrape videos and then find the right volume ez pz
The warning doesn't really help you, there are many parameters that decide how loud it actually is. For example I have 2 pairs of in ears, one is twice as loud at the same settings
@@bats9218 well, that was what I thought too... I never turned the volume up louder than the warning but wore them for hours and hours, even continued when I had a headache... now I have a light tinnitus
I got tinnitus from standing too close to a speaker that I didn't even think was unbearably loud once when going out. Don't play with your ears guys, constant ringing isn't cool. Wear plugs when you go to loud venues.
Same thing here
i got tinnitus, too

This may be a bit of a stretch on my part, but I feel that since we all think differently from one another, then that must mean different brain structure. The sounds we hear are what our brains perceive, mostly from the noises our ears capture. This could also come into account from the way our brains handle that noise. 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.
possibly.
I don't listen to loud music anyways. I may have a lot of headphones and earbuds but I don't blast them.

Not to mention horribly distorted music because people seem to only like bass nowadays instead of actual music...
Mark Jacobs i totally agree with you
Music is subjective. That's coming from not a basshead haha
the distorted music isn't a problem with the bass its just that people there turned up the bass on their speakers above the levels of what bass they can produce however if they had more high quality speakers that can make bass that deep it would sound amazing
@@venturoes1912 nope, the amount of bass is horrible regardless of being able to produce "deep" (awful) bass. There's just too much of it.

My friends always laugh at me when I wear headphones at concerts or in the rehersal room. Sure, it looks weird, but at least it doesn't hurt. I've experienced that ringing many times so I'd rather take care of my ears.

Comfortable level under an hour a day squad where you at!?!
CheapAssReviews no sorry, whenever I do gaming I crank the sound way up. Ik that it ain't good for me but that's the price that u pay.
Seppä I play shooters so it's important to hear my enemy's footsteps.
You can lower the volume and still hear them. It’s just a matter of getting used to it. You say it’s the “price you pay” now, but in the future, if you have hearing loss, you will surely regret it
Seppä I don't even play fortnite, I play pubg-mobile and no it ain't just bots lol and I'm pretty decent at it to.

Simple solution: Don't blast the volume to max.
PTNLemay 99% ok?
Listening to a low volume and using headphones to cancel the ambient noise is enough right?
Idk seriously those idiots blast it so loud i can even hear the sound when they wear headphones. Like for real doesn't that hurt your ear physically? How can anyone withsand it for that long?
Yo this is so important, I'm glad I found this video. I've been listening to music from my phone with my earphones with full volume when I take the trains or taxi for 12 years now!

What about cinemas? Are they safe for our hearing? Say we go to the cinema once a month.
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.
MrKodanNche it's really loud. I hate it, it's as if I felt my hearing actually decrease once I left the hall, watch movies from PC team ftw
Earplugs would be well worth it.
I go to the movies at least once a week. I try to get a seat in the middle of the theater. When you sit on the end you're closer to the speaker.
But...... thats the only way to listen to Led Zeppelin 😣

@@ІаТ-в8щ plz reply is it still there
@@rampaul497 Noise became quiet now. I still have it but it doesnt bother me at all. Watch this channel Julian Cowan Hill. My tinnitus became very quiet because i followed all his advices.
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..
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
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.
@@__-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
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.
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.
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
Soooooo what you're saying is: the ANC Sony WH-100xm2's I bought a week ago was a great choice!? That's the validation I needed! Thanks fam.

So far so good, I thought they fixed that issue with Mark 2s? Regardless, I take care of my stuff so they should be fine.
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. It was an obvious flaw but the same design was used in the second gen.
m.imgur.com/gallery/GY36q
But in the end it's just a higher chance of breaking than usual.
The H900N is better. Clearer mids and highs, more comfortable, and almost as good ANC and bass.
vgman94 I tried those and you may be right about the comfortability part but the overall sound profile and ANC is much better on 1000xmk2 and I don't regret the decision even if it costs a bit extra.

4:39 STOP WITH THE SPINNING! This video is actually making me so nauseous. (Maybe I have some issue with my inner ear, since I get dizzy quickly even just taking notes in class looking up at the board and down at my paper, and I have tinnitus...)
1:22 I had tinnitus from pretty early age, but I only notice it when it's quiet. I can hear my parents whispering in the other room (if the door isn't shut, ofc) while recognizing what they're talking about though, so idk.
1:23 I've had ringing in my ears for as long as I can remember, and I only found out last year that other people don't hear ringing when in silence... I always heard from people that they hate silence and would turn on a fan, but they do that to drown out noises in the night, but I use a fan to distract me from the ringing... I also want to say that everyone has tinnitus differently, for me it's high pitched and faint, if I focus on it (including accidentally remembering it's there) then I can hear it.
2:19 I do. I'm always focusing on the volume around me. I use volume measuring apps to see how loud the environment is, and I always carry around a little case with a pair of ear plugs in it for emergency's when it's really loud. (Such as a pep rally at school.))
Yea, forget all of this for me. Too late. I have been making loud music with electronics, for more than 30 years. You only live one time.
And you are deaf for the rest of your life
You are saying, you only live once, so get deaf in this one because you won't get a second chance to become deaf?
(I was kidding people...relax ;))
But.....I'm never going to quit being an electronic musician, out of fear of losing some of my hearing. (So far it hasn't happened...that I can tell. I know this because I have no problem hearing very fine details in my work. Phones, monitors, or loudspeakers. )
doesn't mean you can't do things to help save your ears, maybe certain filtering out earplugs can help or a replacing old earpads (or headphones). but djs and muscians are notorious for suffering from hearing loss just because their constant exposure during producing and performing. regardless of gear

I hope when changing volume on our phones they also tell us at what decibels the sound is instead of just mere bars.
Naim Noor they can‘t. Every headphone is different when it comes to the power needed to drive headphones. One pair might be louder than another one at the same „Output“ of the phone.
Should be logarithmic as well and cancel the differences out.
Anyway, stay within the blue bar as low as you can.
Yes, noise cancellation is important in headphones. I have Shure se425s (isolating monitor earbuds). They are very good at cancelling sound. I didn't hear the subway behind me, though I felt the breeze (New Yorkers know how refreshing that warm gust of urine vapors and rat farts feels in the summer as the trains go by).

I got tinnitus from headphones listen to music and watching movies - now I have ringing in my ears 24/7 and it never stops you cannot cure this either most times its for life. Doctors cant deal with it or treat it to make it better its just goes worse if you expose yourself to more loud noise. I sold my headphones long ago and only using the stereo system I have and I have the ringing in my ears for almost a year now.
I was recommended this video right after I watched "Sound of metal", now I'm definitely going to be more cautious about volume.
I was worried until she said she had to turn her AirPods on max volume. I got those since a year and never ever reached max volume level because everything above 80% hurts my ears. Even driving at 80 mph with all windows down I still got them around 70% and it's loud enough.
so earphones that sit in your ear (like airpods?) are worse than ones that are stuck inside your ear?
Is that becuase you turn them up more?
Yes.
Good Video. Thanks for such an important information.
The sound pressure level and the corresponding frequency matter. The threshold at which volume we can hear strongly depends on the frequency.

You should read the essay Aldous Huxley write about Dr. Bates method of eyesight
2:02 This is different from what I have learnt in occupational safety before. You need to halve the time for every increase in 3 dB, because the noise is doubled for every 3 dB (10*log(2) ~= 3); for an increase in 10 dB, you need to reduce the listening time 10 times (in minutes). Please correct me if I am wrong. Reference: "Make Listening Safe - World Health Organization" PDF
To Peter Diamandis he’d say you can’t fix hearing loss...currently. I mean they also said you couldn’t fix brain damage until they injected stem cells into brains and it fixed it. ColdFusion talks about that. Though you should also protect your ears.
