i used to really bump to my music in my car when i was younger. its amazing i can hear anything now, but actually my hearing is pretty good now. i still listen to music, but at normal volume. i kind of grew out of the habit, but i always notice i can’t hear anybody’s music when they drive by, unlike me, who would drive through the neighborhood with loud music back in the day.

I recently downloaded an app that allows for audio to be played louder than ur phones original limit.
I use it when listening to stuff on YouTube that is already a low volume. So that way I can hear it at the same level as my songs on spotify.
I’ve never owned a car but I would love to bump outside of my ears

No I never listened to loud music. The only concert I went to was an Elton John concert.

I used to use my Dad’s hifi a lot and yeah I’d put it on a decent volume. Not super loud but loud enough to hear all the details. Now days I always listen on headphones because I don’t have good speakers myself.

Just be careful you don’t accidently leave it on and end up blowing your phone’s speakers!
You should look at getting a bluetooth speaker. They’re not “hifi” but there’s some decent ones for casual listening. Makes a big difference if you’re listening to music or watching shows.

I used to listen to loud, hard rock music all my life. I quit in my early 50’s. Now I only listen to very soft, contemporary and traditional classical music at low volume.

I live in the city and have grown weary of cars cruising by with their music and GPS navigation on full blast. The noise pollution is real. Sometimes I get ornery and imagine myself following people home so I can drive past their house all day long with my 80s soft rock going full blast. 
I used to listen to loud music when I was a teenager, but not so much anymore. I start getting crabby after about 10 minutes of it.

Yes, I still have a 800-1000W 10" subwoofer in my car and a 1200W 12" subwoofer in the house. I don’t use them much though because they annoy ppl like my neighbor. My brother used it after midnight and the neighbor knocked on our door.

I used to listen to loud music to a certain degree, but I always had neighbours in the back of my head and tried to not go over the top. Nowadays I just play music at a normal level. I don’t have a fancy or big stereo. When it’s 11pm I always turn it off to respect neigbours or switch to headphones.

I did. Plus I went to a lot of concerts. I also performed in a bandanna in a vocal jazz group in college and that was really loud too. Now I have some hearing loss

I would always have it as loud as it could go. Then I stopped due to feelings of shame.
