Okay, so with my crappy Skullcandy's came a little piece of paper on SPL's/Noise Induced Hearing Loss. After looking at it, I'm a little concerned, seeing as how the SC's have a SPL of 100db which I guess, is fine, and my Creative EP 630's which I've been using since they sound better and aren't bass bloated that ruins everything like the SC's have a SPL of 106. That said, I'm someone who likes to listen to my iPod a lot. My volume when using the EP's is down all the way to where the blue bar isn't even showing anymore, still though, in the back of my head..I fear it'll still damage my hearing. I like the EP's because they have a nice freq response of 6 hz - 23 hz (or 20), which to me sounds a lot better than 20 - 20, as the SC's are just blah. But, at the same time I like the SC's because the SPL is down 6 notches..I know it won't do much..but..am I being paranoid over nothing?..I wouldn't mind getting a pair of earbuds with a lower SPL, I just don't know where to find them, so if anybody could help me on that I'd be happy. My ENT also noticed some fluid behind my eardrum, I'm not sure if listening to earphones with a high SPL is a good idea with that or not, but, I figured I'd ask here, as I just don't want to damage my hearing. =/
