I always listen to my music really loud. How can I teach myself not to turn it up so loud before I do damage to my ears, if I haven't already? (And please, no illiterate answers of 'JUST TURN THU MUSIC DOWN')

Well really that is the way. Turn the music down. When you turn off the music turn down the volume low enough to still hear but be able to comfortably talk over, so that way when it turns back on it doesn't blast your system and make your body automatically block it out so you have to turn it up loud. Then just turn it up a bit and let it be. If you do that for 20 min and then turn it up to what it normally would be you will prob notice that it seems much louder than it normally did, and possibly obnoxiously so.

set yourself a limit and stick to it. draw a mark on your volume knob or something that is your new highest point of volume, one that is reasonably safe for your ears as you age.

What is so illiterate about saying "TURN IT DOWN"?

Our senses are able to be tuned. In much the same way as food can be overly salty or delicately flavoured, or one can pick up on slight visual cues or have a blatantly obvious image, sound can be deafening or subtle. Train your senses to pick up the quiet, the subtle, the indistinct. Do this by listening intently to the back beat, the melodies, the rhythms all individually. Try and imagine what the music would taste like if it were food, what it would look like if it were visible. You should eventually be able to appreciate music for its quality, not its quantity.

Why would you ask a question and then tell us not to tell you the correct answer? Sorry, if I can't just say "Turn it down", then I have no idea how to tell you to turn it down.

some mp3 players have a thing you can set that wont allow you to turn it above a certain volume i know mine does that see if yours can or if you're that concerned buy one that does (i have a SanDisk sansa c200)

The way that worked best for me was to invest mucho bucks into upgrading my sound system. The whole point of having "mega" watt systems is so they sound better at lower volumes. Building a sound system that gives you fantastic sound at reasonable volume levels means you don't have to "crank it" to make it sound good.

I'm from the 60's and always listened to my rock loud. I now suffer from a continual ringing in the ears, or what is called tinnitus.It can be caused by being around loud noises for extended periods of time. Do yourself a favor and turn it down.

From what I've heard on the subject, even if you have damaged your ears from listening to music too loud, your body can repair the damage. However if, say, your ears have been damaged from things such as guns going off, you'll never get your hearing back. Anyone else ever hear that before?

Why would you call someone who offers you a logical solution "illiterate"? Illiterate means you can't read or write. There is no linkage between the word you used and any solution offered up to you. It doesn't help to insult someone who wants to help you!:(

I don't think the 'volume' of music, really makes it sound any different, (apart from 'louder', obviously). So perhaps think to yourself that you don't have to have music playing loudly, to enjoy it. :-)

Grow up and get responsible for you actions. Hopefully this answer was nice enough for you.
