I have a general question to all members here about sound volume and permanent ear damage. I'm in my late 40s and been using headphones regularily all my life. I'm pretty sure I'm not using them very loud. Still, I do suffer from a slight tinnitus, that is not too annoying but still is making me aware that I should lower my headphone volume. Now my question: I often hear complain that their headphone are not loud enough, for example BeyerDynamics 80ohms plugged in the PS5. For me putting them at the highest level through the controller sounds ear damaging. So I was wondering how loud are you putting them? I know that it's not really quantifiable, but I've heard that you shouldnt go above the sound of a blender (85dB) .... which frankly is pretty hard to judge comparing a blender to gunfire in Battlefield 5.
I guess I should buy a DB measuring tool or something.
Thoughts?
