Can listening to music frequently using headphones damage hearing, eardrum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES!!!: The vast improvement in headphone technology over the past 20 years lets us hear our music with crystal clear clarity. Unfortunately the power of these headphones has also increased dramatically. The oh-so popular Beats by Dre can go up to 115dB. Basically you can starts killing of the inner ear nerve cells after only 15 minutes of this.
