Softkrome,

Sound levels can cause hearing damage. Here's some info on the subject:

I carry two types of ear plugs in my gig bag. I've used earplugs when playing live for years. I also listen on headphones in the studio at a rather low volume level. So far, thank God, my hearing's pretty good, haven't had it tested in a while, but I can hear soft sounds both high and low...what's that? Does my beard smell? Oh, do I hear well? Yeah, Ok.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
