I've been playing guitar lately and I just went back to my piano and I noticed 'damn this thing is loud'. I have sensitive ears and I now have hopefully temporary hearing dullness which should last about 24 hours.

The initial intensity level of an upright piano is at 80 decibels. I don't think that should harm your hearing. But your hearing may be previously affected from the prior musical instruments you've played. You should have it checked by a doctor.

Each key or note would be a different decibal hence the tone. We hear the different tones the keys produce because they each emit a different decibal. If they all produced the same decibal, they would all sound the same.
Any loud noise can cause hearing loss or damage.

If an upright piano is causes discomfort for your sensitive ears you could use some hearing loss.

are u crazy
guitars are much louder than pianos if ur playin it right
im assumin u play electric....cuz acoustic is kinda wussy
anyways u can play piano as soft as a whisper and as loud as yell but i highly doubt it will cause hearing loss because after pounding a few piano keys as loud as possible, not only will ppl around u think ur crazy but its also tiring

With continued loud (forte) playing, it can be hard on your hearing. Try wearing some foam earplugs if you are going to play for a long time.
