People are trying to help you but you don't want their advice. You have probably suffered some hearing damage already and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but what is lost can never be replaced. This is NOT like getting glasses when your vision is blurry. This is a serious problem and in 10 to 15 years you will be wearing hearing aids if you continue to listen at 11. It may all seem cool now but when you have to go to an audiologist and he tells you the bad news that you need a hearing aid or aids it will not be so cool. Take the advice offered here and save your hearing.

With the preponderance of IPODS and ear-buds and blasting music at full volume this whole generation of people maybe early adopters of hearing aids and the makers of those products are already rubbing their hands in anticipation of the increased revenue this generation will afford them.

Sorry if you don't want to hear the truth (pun intended)

As the primary purveyor of pre-adolescent, pre-pubescent juvenility I would like to state that Tom's point is spot on.

You're asking for advice which is simply bad and EVERYONE is telling you this. You don't seem to care.

I've gone back and read a LOT of your previous posts and something just doesn't add up. You seem to have a LOAD of expensive, high quality gear which would indicate some type of commercial, high-quality studio or at the very least, a nice project studio. In other words, you aim to (or do) make money at what you're doing.

You are asking us to give you advice to help you go deaf. And what's worse, you know and openly admit this.

This makes you either slightly mentally unstable or just plain simple.

I wish you the best in your conquest for deafness and I promise that, once your hearing is completely gone, I will no longer type inflamatory words, I will simply say them to you directly...
Thumbs Up

Besides...if you can't take some good natured (and well-intentioned) ribbing on the Internet, blindness would be a far better affliction than deafness.

if it's good natured ribbing, then no worries. Everyone on RO here has always been A+ polite. i guess i wasn't expecting it.

my project studio is only for fun, in the goal of fun. sometimes i just don't enjoy music when it's quiet and i can't be bothered to listen at all if i'm not enjoying it... will I still seek the same pleasures in the future? i dunno, maybe not... but maybe i love volume a little more then music. I do love bands like Sun O))) and GYBE where music is an experience to be felt, and not listen.

It is that important.

Music, in it's purest form, is to be heard. You get inside a persons head by getting into the ears. It is a connection one person makes with another person. I know that today some use clipping to effect tracks, loud is another effect sought after. Loud loud loud loud! But after all is said and done, you still try to achieve the same thing in the same way as all those before you did.

There can come a day, if this inner ear audio punishment continues, when you will hear the words someone speaks but may not understand them.

It can come soon, do not fool yourself.

You hear your own voice saying "huh?" even though you heard whatever was spoken, you just could not make it out.

No wait. Is that old age?

No, thats the way it will be you.

An entire forum would not steer you wrong:)

This sentence is scaring me. Its fakking scaring me.

Cause it feels so familiar.

I'v had drums now for about 16 years. Used airplugs the last 3... I have a -3dB dip on my right ear at about 6000Hz (raid crash or something?) and a tone at about 3000Hz on my left ear (South of heaven concert next to the TurboSound speakers). And i more and more find my self watching peoples lips when they speak.... And its fakking scaring me.

I can hear they speak, but OFTEN I don't understand what they are saying before i focus my eyes at they lips..

It feels very weird. Noone has yet been able to explain to me why it is this way.
Even tho I'm still able to make good music. Live and studio. My concerts are not that loud anymore tho. And i think people appreciates that.
