scaring!
But Matt as an answer..
Me also : my lps analog vinyl

[ChicoSelfs]

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

[Autoelph]

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?

A priest, a rabbi...

[zevele10]

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 ......

[Autoelph]

!

Now ,if you listen to mp3 before and after a concert ...

...then you've just got too much time on your hands!

[xen-uno]

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.

Listening to: 'The Leper Affinity' from 'Blackwater Park' by 'Opeth' on Media Center 9.0

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:

MAY THE SOFTWARE BE WITH YOU!

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

[petekarn]

This thing is totally (sic) nonsense...

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...

[Autoelph]

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

[zevele10]

by the way ,you can see  on my posts : Back to mono.

Because of this problem ,in case you did know .
I use a single headphone - for mono it is ok.
One week left ear ,next week the right one .
Like it no danger.
I set my Yahoo calendar to send me an email  on sunday.
Like it i never forget............

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