How loud do you play your music?

I've already raped my ears with my stupidity in the past. Now a normal listening level (a level where I can hear the music, but isn't loud) for me is deafening for others. If people set it at THEIR preferred listening level, I have to strain to hear it.

I've been working on slowly lowering the volume with which I listen to music on average with small success.

I almost always blast in a car, unless I'm going through town, then I turn it down a couple notches. It's more because I can't stand silence while driving than anything else. I need to work on that too, it isn't helping any to do that.

Headphones I used to mow lawns with them turned up loud enough to drown out the lawnmower. (tractor mower, not a pushmower). Probably one of the dumbest things I've ever done. I have minor tinnititus, or however you spell it. It isn't life-altering, and I don't notice it unless I really listen for it, but its there. I'm starting to wisen up and take preventive measures before it gets any worse.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Late reply, but...

It's as obnoxious as the 'tard in the next car playing 50 cent so loud that it vibrates your car windows.

Put on some fucking headphones and blow your own ears out. No one wants to hear that shit.

I love you marry me have my children.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
