Hi. I like to compare what I head and enjoy and engaging sound.
However through my 20s I got ringing in my ears after being in clubs for instance for obvious reasons. I especially remember one place which was absolutely crazy loud and hurt already back then and I told them about it but they didn't lower volume at all though there's regulations for sound pressure.
In my 30s I haven't been out much but I've used headphones while on the bicycle at wind or near busy roads or just enjoying music which haven't been good for the ears either. Ended up with DT 990 for a short while which I tried for games and used waaaay too loud volume too (since people say they are hard to drive and they didn't sounded the way I was used too so I kinda tried to compensate for low mids / voice in game with higher volume but bass and treble become very loud resulting in ringing for a long time (days-weeks.)
Anyway when I shut things off and try to sleep I have quite a bit of background noise. I have no idea how loud. But like when you look at stuff with high SNR and such I assume that if you have say 30 dB of ringing in your ears all the time it become very irrelevant?
Can one appreciate "details" anyway as in accuracy or is that lost too really? Also of course my treble hearing range is crap too and I feel like above 13 kHz I don't think I hear anyway.
Is eq / ok frequency response kinda "enough" for people with ruined hearing at my level? Anything else wasted as my own biological equipment is so crap by now? =P
