redbaron80 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I've been bangin the bass hard since 98 and have no problems hearing, actually I have sensitive hearing and can hear very faint noises quite easily. I don't bang my shit that hard anymore, since i don't drive my acura daily. Had my hearing checked by the doctors in 2005 with no hearing loss what so every, and recently, same thing. I went to a concert, with the screaming highs, and my ears hurt x10 more than bass, and i had ringing for the erst of the day. Highs will kill your hearing 100xms faster than bass. Although I believe that over, 160 @ any frequency will destroy your hearing pretty quick. Hearing protection FTW. Official Scores at the Dash. and YES.

CrashHole Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I have been jammin systems for years now. Only thing I notice is the ringing I get in my ears from time to time. I would like to hear how Steve handles 20,000 watts on a daily basis! Where you at Steve, I'm calling you out lol.

Boon Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Dirty highs hurt your ears, bass doesn't. Then again I'm getting ever so close to the magic 150 in my little Street B build and that's giving me a headache if I burp it inside the car too much... 10.x volts fo' life!

ryde2idie Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 i have tweeters in my a-pillars and after a good drive listening to some rock or basically anything with a guitar solo that goes way high in pitch i have trouble understanding people with low voices it just sounds all messhed together.

raytard Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 i def get a headache if i bang it hard for a few mins, and the pain i used to get from really loud systems has completely gone away, its just like a weird pressure now, even sitting in cars going over 150, its just like...annoying, i know i'm getting numbed to it like charger said. my girlfriend cant stand my subs, or my highs, but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. if i play like metal or rock on blast my ears will noticeably be ringing when i get out, and sitting here in quiet for the first time all day, they definitely just ring all the time, but they have really always done that ever since i was a kid. and noone believes me but i can hear electricity. i can tell if an amplifier or tv is on. we used to have one of those ionic fans and i was the only one that could hear it, and it drove me friggin insane, i could hear it all through the house even though it has no moving parts, i could like hear the charge or something. between dirtbikes, quads, gokarts since i was like 5, guns since i was old enough to go to the range, and my system or friends systems since i was 14, my hearing is def worse then some people, i have trouble hearing people on the fone mostly. Its weird though, its not like i lost any range, which is what is normally associated with hearing loss, its like some of the fainter sounds just dont come through clear.

flashlight_65 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 The first system I had in my chevy Corsica bucket was 2 12" cerwin vega heds and a Sony xplode "1000 watt" amp back in the spring of '01 not having a clue about car audio so I smoked my equipment and moved on to a jbl 1200.1 and 15" cerwin vega stroker by the end of summer and I noticed my ears would ache after that and a few set ups later I haven't noticed any ringing or hearing loss. Hearing tests that I had done when I first joined the marines to one I did a couple months ago have shown no change in my hearing even after going to countless ranges, lobbing grenades, working with demolitions, working with mortars, firing smaw rockets (which is the loudest weapon we have next to tanks) and having tank main gun rounds going off 20 meters away. With some of that I had a bit of temp hearing loss that subsided after a couple days other than that I've been pretty lucky. I probably just jinxed myself too My builds: my caddy my 'hoe friends impala Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tequila Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Started the car audio thing 2 years ago. Got a constant ringing in my ears when its quiet around me, a week ago i also had a painful "fullness" or pressure in my ears, but that's gone now. No hearing loss noted so far.

fourlug Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I've had a couple mid 140db dd's, no hearing loss. Like said low freq isn't as damaging as high frequency. As well you are in a sealed environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
