Will listening to loud music or videos kill brain cells?

…

No, jesus. It would damage your hearing.

For it to damage brain cells it would probably burst your eyes first.

No, but it’s probably not good for you to have constant loud video games in the background of your life.

No, but I wish I wore ear protection when I went to see Eric Burdon. The ringing in my ears has gone on for over 30 years.

If that were true, I’d probably be brain dead by now. I was in the music industry through the sixties, seventies, and most of the eighties. I probably lost more brain cells due to moderate alcohol and recreational drug use. What really suffered is my hearing. I suffer from tinnitus, somewhere in the moderate-to-severe range, and that affects my ability to understand what other people are saying.

It will probably do the opposite.

I think it led to my baldness.

It’s your hearing that will be affected. And your hearing is something you want to preserve….

No. But alcohol definitely will ; even in moderate amounts. Every time you consume alcohol, you’re killing off brain cells.

But as others have mentioned, you can kill your hearing ability. This is no minor matter and especially as you get older. Many young people have the illusion that they’re immortal. Negative consequences fall on others not themselves.

In reality, no one is immune to consequences. Protect your ears now so you don’t end up needing hearing aids later in life.

My hearing is messed up because I’ve worked in offices as a temp and always worked while listening to music. I’m sure it will be terrible when I’m 65. People have said that with the amount of children/teens listening to music on headphones that we’ll have a whole generation with hearing damage in the near future. Which is why some countries have volume limits on their mp3 players. I believe we have them here in Canada but you can turn them off which makes them pointless.
