Listening Levels


When you are listening to your favorite music does it effect the volume level? Are you concerned about the volume level on your hearing? Please speak up!

What? Couldn't hear you!! I find that as my high end system evolved, my listening levels have gone DOWN. I'm listening in a smaller room, so a point is reached where the room's acoustic interaction limits the absolute volume level. This maximum level is more than adequate for my needs. I do love to crank the volume up in my car (780 watts RMS tri-amped). I read an interesting article years ago which stated that the volume level was not actually responsible for hearing loss. It was loud noise COMBINED WITH STRESS that produces hearing loss!
