Hello,
Ever try to talk o someone at a disco, when the music is driving you crazy and you feel as if your brain is liding down your neck? Well now you know that it's a good idea to dance further away from the stage. The simple answer is, wear your earphones to enjoy the music, and turn it down, so you are NOT forced by an audiologist to be permanently forced to use a Hearing aid.... that is sensible, but you can still turn it up a little, but if your ears begin to tingle from the noise, that is when you have to ease up...... hope this helps you...

ALWAYS wear ear plugs!! Believe it or not, the music will actually sound WAY better also- more clear and balanced, and you'll be able to hear the different instruments. I've been going to LOUD shows for about 32 years, and my hearing is still PERFECT. some of my first shows- Kiss Love gun tour Motorhead- Ace of Spades tour, opening for Ozzy w/ Randy Rhoads Iron Maiden Van Halen first tour some of my latest shows Mastodon Motorhead Slayer Megadeth Dream Theater So, yeah, I've seen some LOUD concerts. I'm also a guitar player, and have been in a million loud jams and rehearsals, ten feet from the drums. Ear plugs for EVERY live situation- and I'm a bartender, and have worked in LOUD nightclubs for years- earplugs every shift. Please, please, please, always wear earplugs, and if you forget 'em at home, wad up some toilet paper, make it a bit damp, and use that. \m/ \m/

Yes, particularly if they're noise-cancelling in-the-ear headphones (the ones with rubber cones instead of foam pads). Even if you have them set to the same volume as external headphones, they're considerably closer to your eardrums, and the noise-cancelling variety form a seal with your ear canal that prevents pressure equalization, which puts more force directly on your eardrum.
Now, that is not to say that using earbuds at low volume is going to be worse for you than wearing external earphones with the volume cranked as high as it'll go, because that's even worse for you. To be safest, get lightweight headphones and use them with the volume set fairly low. If you're really concerned, ask your doctor about getting a pure-tone hearing test sometime.

Yes they do. This is because the music is playing at a high volume right next to your ear due to which the ear may get damaged.

My mom always want's me to take off my earphones because number one, I think almost all earphones are very uncomfortable. Number two, if the volume of what your listening to is too loud, you will lose some hearing. I suggest getting earphones that don't go in your ear, but ones that hang on your ears or headphones. (If you're not afraid of looking dorky...)

Yes indeed, the sound is more concentrated within your ear. Just turn it down!
