How can you see that?
Pretty fucked, would recommend going to a doctor and checking for hearing loss
Mine shows something pretty similar but I’m pretty sure it’s just because I use accessories that have their own volume control that work best if I keep my phone at 80-100% while connected to them
92dB RMS for two years‽‽ I hope that was all bass.
I’ve only seen root mean square for wattage.
It doesn’t matter if it’s all bass, since bass can travel through the cochlea as well, any frequency above say 250Hz can damage the hair cells and even with earplugs with 25dBNR many frequencies above 250Hz can travel through the plug and straight into the hearing organs, so something like 300Hz can travel through and still cause damage. Generally frequencies below 200Hz are of lesser consequence but you need to be careful since vibrations can also damage the microvascular and tubular structures within the cochlea. How do I know this? From years of study.
WHAT?!?! Get a decent over the ear noise cancelling headphone and go see the doctor.
can you even hear these comments
That would be in the field of psychedelics
You don’t have an inner voice narrating what you read?
Choose your inner monolog, but choose wisely… James Earl Jones, David Attenborough, or Woody Allen.
Listen to music so loud I go blind. Challenge accepted. :>
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
That’s your tinitus.
Get some ANC headphones or buds
Tbh, I think this is highly inaccurate. If you have your phone connected to your car using bluetooth or a dac it also gives you messages about your volume constantly if you have it on 100% and on like 10% on your radio.
You said airpods, It’s possible they’re all gunked up and 92db is way quieter. Likely if they are Non pro. If not, then you’re screwed
Rookie numbers
What did you say?
Background: Am in NYC and take the subway every day. Couldn’t really hear the music so whenever I’m in the train, I always turn it up to the max volume. FWIW, I use my Airpods. Been doing some research and just realized how harmful this is. I’ve set my phone to limit it to the lowest level at 75 dB … and I can barely hear the music. I mean I hear it but I can’t feel the music: the bass, the instruments, the reverb. Do I just accept this limit and deal with the subway noises forever? Feels like it’s a lose-lose situation either way because I’m sure the subway noises themselves are audibly louder and therefore are causing issues as well
Okay, since you are using AirPods 3rd gen, you have Spatial Audio and spatialize stereo, you want to turn it on, it adds a slight bass boost, and that will make you “feel it” more
Apple’s non seal designs have been ruining people’s hearing for decades I swear
Yikes. Airpods are TERRIBLE in loud environments.
Can u tell me how much db is 25 to 35% volume on Airpods?
Holy, go to the doctor. And then buy some ANC buds or headphones to use on trains
Nothing the doctor can do for you.
Get some hearing protection.Just buy some good inears… anc isn’t actually that great as it’s producing constant sound
Check with your ear doctor.
Well. On the plus side - you don’t need to worry about noisy neighbors 🤷♂️
I recommend noise cancellation! it will increase the noise floor you can audibly hear thus making your audio clear to you at lower volumes.
