My friend did a research, and most of the people that uses earphones (especially the smaller ones that goes into the ear) damages your hearing way faster than people who uses headphones.
I asked him the safe limit is:
Headphones : 1-2 hours
earphones : 30-60 minutes
Then I should be deaf as fuck... Though I don't use earbuds that ziggy uses, I still use earphones. I used to work four nine hour days and wore them throughout the whole day. >_>
I prefer to use earphones. Nice and compact.
well, my friend never said that you'll go deaf in a week or a month if you did it like. It's just that, prolonged hearing will weaken it further, and in most cases some of them went deaf way faster than average people when they get older.
and like Gibbous said, Volumes also effect the results.
and about the ergonomics of head phones, I never use the normal shaped headphones, I always use the ones that goes around the back of the head. and another thing about the pain because of the pressure, I think it's good sign to stop and rest a bit, when it starts hurting. Almost like a safety limit. :)
