I’m depressed and I wanna listen to music… 🥲

Its just fearmongering right?

I don’t max the volume, just turn it high enough to hear it, if I used speakers, I’d also turn it so that my ears detect the “same volume” so I don’t get why headphones is worse? Literally the same volume.

Also privacy, I don’t want others to know what I’m listening, the fuck lol.

    Bad logic, yes, but it stands in this case because the harm is immediate, not in some future decade. Given such widespread use, headphones must be OK or doctors would have been sounding the alarm decades ago after seeing young people with blown out ears.
