I sometimes listen to music from iPod when I get home from work --- that's around 1 in the morning. I just can't help but setting its volume to the fullest even though I heard from TV that it can harm our ears and cause permanent hearing loss. I really don't feel satisfied until I hear those "bangs and booms" on my music. But I have never experienced immediate harmful result until today, there's a mild disturbance in my ears. I don't know if it's because of that or there's just problem with me not directly affecting the ears. And one more thing, I'm kinda not very keen on hearing what people say to me. I noticed that I sometimes keep on saying "Huh?" before I get what they wanna say. Is this something serious or am I just making an issue here?
