Can i get brain cancer if i played my headphones to loud?

No: No known connection between loud noises and brain 'cancer'. Possible connection to development of acoustic neuroma.

No: Unfortunately, loss of hearing will gradually develop over time secondary to the noise level. However, brain cancer does not occur due to loud music.
