Any ways moving on the Loudest subbwoofer I heard Was the MTX Jack Hammer Caddy, and my older FI BL. I always hear people telling me you are going to go deaf. Is this really Possible, I wanta know because with my new Nightshade would it damage my hearing, I still have about 70 years ahead of me so I am just wondering What is the safe hearing for bass? How loud is you're Daily on TL?

What causes's pain in you're ears???? Is it the pressure being pushed against the anvil and the Hammer in you're ear?

I've also read that 130 dB is damaging and also that the actual loudest possible sound is 180 something dB, so those finds are somewhat unreliable. Also, the people who say that are often the same type of paranoid people who would say that pop needs a Surgeon General's warning on it because of the calories.

I doubt you have 70yrs ahead of you, im sure natural selection will take care of you alot sooner.

I would assume the pain comes from your nerves. Like too much heat hurts, too much cold hurts, something too bright is painfull to the eyes. Just a guess though.

Is too much to drink bad for your liver?

Moderation...
