I've always like to listen to my music loud. But I'm concerned that my ears may be damaged.

85-90dbA for me sounds the best

80dB to 85dB on a 1000hz tone (then only crank it up for a few favorite tracks). Note that some recordings can have higher gain (or lower) than what you'd get out of an audiophile/car audio test disc tone or a tone generator.

Length of time per day also has an effect on hearing damage / loss. Lots of good stuff here:

I turn it up until I notice cranium fluid or blood seeping from my nose and ears,and then dial it back a bit.
