Braintree Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 A friend was telling me last night that mp3's will damage your ears more than lossless formats. Anyone know anything about this? Does the claim have any validity? I did a quick google search and found this: http://www.bio.net/bionet/mm/neur-sci/2002-November/052969.html But it still sounds like bullshit.

Root5 Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Mp3s cut out the really high frequencies. If anything they'd damage your hearing less. But really it all depends on how loud you listen to music.

Guest Adjective Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 some harsh aliasing in lower bitrate mp3s will certainly be less comfortable to listen to at moderate-high volume. but there's just some confusion... there have been articles that point out the practice of listening to personal music players (mp3 players) at higher volumes than the user may realize and danger it poses to one's hearing. so when these headlines hit the word of mouth train it turns from "mp3 players may damage you hearing" to "i heard mp3s damage your hearing, have you heard about that? i skimmed an article on it today -hey, do you like animal collective?"

Bubba69 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 damage??? Might be a little worse just in the way it distorts and alias's the high frequencies, but if you are already using suitable volumes for listening I see no reason to worry.

Yeah, vsnares pretty consistently makes me lose a bit of hearing anytime I listen to him through headphones. I always get that high pitched ringing in one ear that indicates the last time I'm ear going to hear said frequency after listening. No more vsnares for me.

Braintree Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 So I talked to a speech pathology friend of mine and she says it's bullshit, and the only thing that will ruin your hearing in accordance to sound is high volumes [which I knew in the first place, but needed a second professional opinion].
