No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mother told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering?English
26·28 days agoAnother crucial part is duration. You can still damage your hearing if you’re listening to something at 70 decibels. For example, if you were listening to something that loud all day long for months, . In fact you could probably change your hearing with things even quieter than that if you’re constantly hearing it for long durations.
If you have your headphones in and you’re constantly listening to something for hours on end everyday, chances are, you are causing changes to your hearing. It will start as hearing fatigue. And if you keep pressing, eventually you’ll start to hear a mild ringing in your ears that may never go away. Keep pressing even further, yeesh… I don’t think it’s advisable to listen to anything constantly for months on end, no matter how quiet.
Please take breaks that last hours. If you want to maximize listening during the waking hours, then it’s probably a good idea to sleep with ear plugs if you can. It’s also good idea to take a day off, or even a week, if you can. Sometimes even take a month off.
I have been obsessed with listening to new music for three decades, I’ve also been in plenty of bands, it took quite a few shows. I am now beginning to pay the price of my lack of care towards protecting my hearing.
Don’t be like me; protect your hearing!!

Also, if it ever happens I’d love to watch it but chances are, distance time and money might be too much to overcome.

8·8 months agoI’m teaching guitar to a couple of students in town. I’ve started doing an active listening at the end of our shared class. I’m introducing them to all kinds of music they haven’t heard and I love it. They’re responding and listening to some new albums outside of the genres they’ve liked.
Thank you for the opportunity to share some good. :)

Trump destroys everything he touches. This is going to go very badly for a lot of people

it’s the bully who draws the Line in the Sand and says you can’t step over it and then takes a step forward and draws another line it says the same thing and then just keeps doing it until they’re up in your face yelling about how abusive YOU are, meanwhile you’re surrounded by a gaggle of idiots who are all nodding their head in agreement because all they understand is that someone angry is correct because they just want to share in the moment of being angry
