There were a few topics in HA regarding this issue and there are no evidence of that being true, that's only theory

What's heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of butter?

Which is more damaging, a live band at 105db or your MP3's at 105db?

Why did the chicken cross the road?

you do not listen to a live band as many hours than you listen to mp3.
Now ,if you listen to mp3 before and after a concert ......

A well written piece of drivel. dB's kill your hearing, not imperfect sound. He doesn't really say that your hearing is damaged by mp3's...just that the ear becomes "detuned" (permanently...guess that is damaged). The lack of music data (due to compression) is no different then a clipped signal. It just sounds bad...that is...you hear the clipping OR you expect to hear something that is no longer there (or it's muted/distorted) after compression. Hard on the nerves physcologically....but nothing more.

You know what is hard on the ears? Hilti DX 350 firing into a piece of half inch iron and your head two feet away. OUCH!! Been doing it for years. What an idiot... :-/

Good thing the stereo really blasts.

This thing is totally nonsense, since human having all kind of natural filtering in their daily environment. If you just take a look to this footnote, which explains everything:

I am teachmaster of LOGOLOGIE.

...Main goal of Logologie is the preservation and development of the human race by enabling it to sovereignous- holistical thinking and the overcoming of causing sufferance, because due to the network of cosmic consciousness everything is connected with everything and sufferance therefore never exists separately

I couldn't agree more. I'd be far more concerned with distortion generated by cheap amplifiers and headphones, no matter what the media format.

There was a similar study about John Tesh music damaging the ears.

I can't find the link right now though...

...and beware of David Hasselhoff as well. Possibly damaging to the psyche as well as the ears.

That was from people sticking ice picks in their ears after listening to it.
