Due to medical damage, I’ve read up a lot on hearing loss and issues with the ear.
I wondered if low frequency can cause damage when it doesn’t physically hurt like mid/high frequencies do. This article gives some info that I’ve read in other places:

Almost sounds like Tesla's earthquake machine, which subtly destroyed things by matching their resonant frequencies.

Man ..Im sure it is..LOL. Its like right now. I am listening to Fleetwood Mac on the home stereo and I can hear the ringing/ buzzing going on, but i can hear the fridge too. LOL. I can usually hear the hissing from a tweeter before most can.I usually tune by ear majority of the time. a preamp EQ helps out alot

Dude, I can hear all sorts of electronic running noises. It gets bad the more tired I am.

Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse comes to mind.

i dont have any hearing loss, but i dont listen very loud. my mains are running off my deck (20 watts) and my sub is level matched.

volume is probably in the mid 90s most times, but i dont have to do any long drives

my main problem is my guitar. i have a Les Paul and a 50 watt Boss Katana, and i live on a acre. that fker gets LOUD !!!

2 12's on 1000w can physical hurt my ears. A sharp pain around ear drum I guess?

I LOVE the feeling of bass but my ears dont approve.

I have extremely good hearing according to my last test.
