[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8770858, member: 591582"] I actually hear better after loud bass, because I have clogged up ears, and the pressure helps my eardrums equalize. I haven't noticed any severe hearing damage from having my system. The damage comes more from the higher frequencies than bass; that's where your hearing loss comes from. The hair structures in the ear that pick up higher frequencies are smaller, and when those break, you lose bits of your hearing, depending on what frequency hairs you damage. These hairs are called cilia: [ATTACH type="full" alt="33650"]33650[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="33652"]33652[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="33651"]33651[/ATTACH] Your mids and highs being super loud is where you'll notice or actually get hearing damage the most, because that's almost all of the sound you hear, and low frequency cilia hairs are thicker and more durable than higher frequency ones. Loud bass isn't anywhere as problematic, by itself. [/QUOTE]
