Ouch - Hearing Damage???

I've been into car audio for about 15 years now. I have gradually evolved from liking SPL to caring more about SQ. That said, my hearing is trashed, and each system I build for myself gets louder. The current one did 146.9 recently, but I don't crank it that often, or for more than 20 seconds or so at a time. I know what you mean about the fluid in your ears. Hopefully you learned your lesson and will take it easy. Then again, who am I kidding? It's like eating a buffet or drinking lots of shots. You know it's not good for you, but........

 
some people are ******* and hearing differs in about every single human being, I doubt your hearing will be permenantly damaged //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
could be an ear infection //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blush.gif.99bc659ee2012b7d826165e26fb5eebe.gif
If it is an infection, then I bet those AB's helped since they're as soft as a q-tip. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

doesnt really make sense at all.
Well my o-scope said it put out 1152 watts unclipped with a 50 Hz tone so..... since I WAS clipping, I estimated 1300 watts even though it most likely wasnt that high. And yes the audiobahns ****- I dont need to be reminded thanks. However they are loud for their price.

 
well I put my ear in the port while playing on the tuning freq with 1200w, It was awesome! hurt for a minute but I still hear fine. I just wish it was that loud at the headrest! wait a sec, anybody here ever run ports outside the box to fire at the back of there head?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

 
their f*ckin audiobahns!! the only way they're gonna cause you any physical harm is if you brake too hard and the box flies and hits you in the back of your head...
I jammed my finger on one once when my friend turned his system on and my finger was on it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/*******.gif.a649d21efc0d1fd4890a6428166586c1.gif
