Your ears don't differentiate between the sounds coming from your headphones and the outside environment. Therefore, if you turn your headphones up louder so you can hear over loud traffic noise, you are adding to the total noise your ears are hearing--and this can be damaging to your hearing. Therefore, always keep the sound level down to below 80 dB., the current standard below which you do not damage your hearing no matter how long you are exposed to it. Create a video blog

Hi there:

Sound is sound. Your ears don’t differentiate between the sounds coming from your headphones and the outside environment. Therefore, if you turn your headphones up louder so you can hear over loud traffic noise, you are adding to the total noise your ears are hearing–and this can be damaging to your hearing.

Therefore, always keep the sound level down to below 80 dB., the current standard below which you do not damage your hearing no matter how long you are exposed to it.
