So what happen is, my ear drums actually feels painful when i listen to songs at high volume.
After listening for long hours, my ears get numb and feels weird.
I think the pain has nothing to do with frequencies (not sibilant, just constant pain)
I noticed that it happens more often on earphones (not sure if it has something to do with https://www.64audio.com/technology)
I also get the same pain when i am listening to planar magnetic headphones (hifiman / audeze) at high volume.
Now the funny thing is some headphone / earphones does not cause any pain even at very high volume.
The higher volume it goes the better, sweeter and clearer the sound becomes.
for example, my ear drums were painful when i turn up the volume on shangri la but the he 1 was many times louder and yet i felt no pain at all.
I don't even feel that i am listening through my ears, the sound just appear out of no where or in my head / brain.
My ears wont get numb.
The problem is even though i dont feel the pain or numbness is it bad for my ears?
