Because no more ears equals no more music.

If you are going to listen to music loud then you better buy some very good earplugs.
Dr. Sam Levine (an otolarynologist) explains. “As the hair cells inside your ear are damaged, you lose some of your hearing. Most of the time, if you get out of the environment, your hair cells will recover somewhat. Each day, it [your hearing] comes back, but not as good as it did the day before. Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged instead of temporarily damaged.”
The doctor also states: "if the hair cell is damaged or destroyed, what comes out is an abnormal sound that’s not physically created and is a sound that’s literally ‘in your head’, known as tinnitus."
Dr. Levine says regular exposure to noise that exceeds 85 decibels “is considered to be dangerous.” For perspective, the doc says a normal conversation should measure about 50 dB and a chart in his office has a food blender checking in at 88 dB, a jet flying overhead at 103 dB, a rivet machine at 110 dB and a rock band topping out the list at 114 dB.
Temporary hearing loss can happen after you’ve been exposed to loud noise for only 15 minutes
But if you don’t want to end up deaf in a few years time you MUST protect your hearing now and that means
either a maximum exposure time of 15 minutes per gig – which I don’t see you raving about!
or by using hearing protection – that is ear-plugs.
Musician’s earplugs are not intended for maximum attenuation. For that application, conventional foam or fully sealed
pre-moulded hearing protectors or earmuffs are recommended.

Where ear molding ear plugs. These stop the waves of destructive sound from penetrating the delicate membranes of the ear but only for a short time. Then you'll go deaf. Why must people listen to music that make windows rattle and cars bounce? I can't understand that this.

You need to turn it down. There is no way to guarantee that your hearing will remain in tact if you listen to your music loudly. I am a child of the 80s hair bands and I listened to my music to loudly. I am now tone deaf. I have to ask people to repeat themselves and that is embarrassing. Please don't do to your ears, what I've done to mine.

Do not use earphones. The percussion against you ear will make you have a hearing problem. Turn it down and give your ears a break.

Try turning it down a bit unless you're trying to block out the voices in your head.
