I think I lost some hearing in my left ear (from the sub perhaps) since setting up my home theater system in January... :(

Edit: I actually don't play it loud in the car, just usually at home.

Just turn it down when you're at an intersection, and I'll be fine.

I've been a metalhead all my life. I love my music loud. Been to dozens of concerts and always jam to my music turned up really high. I'm in my mid-20's now and I know I don't hear as good as I used to. I definitely have some hearing damage.

i like it fairly loud, but not super loud. i always wear earplugs at shows and when i play guitar at band-volumes. gotta save that precious hearing.

i can't. i have a lot of scarring in my ears and anything loud bothers them. besides, if you have a great sound system, you don't *need* to listen to music loud! :)

Heh.. I do that already "because it is illegal to publicly play a CD according to the RIAA".. not.. Actually, I just turn it down usually so as not to annoy.

I heard that subwoofers playing loud really do not cause much hearing damage because the energy isn't so focused as high-pitched music.

I like rock myself, but I usually set the curve up so that only the bass drum part bangs hard.
