I had a slight ringing in my ears last night which can be attributed to some fairly intense flac listening last night. And that got me to thinking about the levels of quality in relation to damage to your ears.
I figure it would be ever so minute, but wouldn't listening to high end rips of our music; lossless even be more damaging to our ears then their lossy cousins. Providing the lossy tracks don't have any rogue artifacts/corruptions.
I only think this because in theory more frequencies should be getting through.
Again, this is probably so minute a difference it's not worth worrying about but I guess it'd be interesting to find out opinions of the quality-conscious inhabitants here.
