I know I'll be deaf someday. I listen to music because I love it. people think I'm stupid for using headphones. I turn the volume up so I won't hear what my grandma and her friend is saying. I couldn't control the volume from my mp3 player. I would turn it up and down up and down up and down. I freaking don't want to go back to stay with my grandma and I don't want to go back in high school.

Same. Sometimes when I'm listening to a good beat I'll hold the earphone closer in to my ear to hear the bass.
I know it's going to effect my hearing one day. If we look around there are SO many different things we do that can put a toll on us when we are older. Just look at typing, apparently it's going to cause 'carpo tunnel' and all the stress of worrying can cause headaches and contribute to most diseases. It's no good worrying about whether or not we are going to go deaf or get arthritis from typing and compulsive headaches from stress. Just a thought. So that's why I try to ignore it.
But, it's good drowning out the fighting in my household. I just listen to music, so thanks to whoever created them!

99% of the time when I listen to music, it's with headphones and that is how it's always been. I usually don't listen to my music loud though. And for the first few years that I started to regularly listen to music (with headphones of course) I listened at a really low volume--maybe even too low, if that is possible. I haven't noticed any loss of hearing yet, but who knows, I might have lost some. I'm not too worried about it.
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD280s which block out a lot of external noise and keep the music in very well (it's impossible for anyone to hear what I am listening to, which is really nice). I really like closed headphones. Listening to music with them is a much more private and personal experience.

I have permanent hearing damage and constant ringing in my ears for the same reason. Needless to say, I regret it. You can get high-quality closed headphones to reduce or otherwise completely block out noises from the outside. That way you won't have to turn up the volume. And as long as you don't listen to music at high volumes for extended periods of time (like 30 minutes or more) most of damage shouldn't be permanent (don't take my word on that).

yes- exactly.
If you plan to be listening to loud music daily- you should really invest in some headphones that will not harm your ears. (as much)
haha
It's absolutely key for me to have some good quality studio headphones.
Music is quieter but sound is clearer.
I can't live without my headphone... literally I would probably die lol
I feel... safe with them like anyone can say whatever and I will never here it and it just makes me relax
Even in class I have the in but in ways the teacher wont know but I always have them in and it annoys a lot of people becuase apperently it's rude to have them in when people are saying stuff to you but ohwell they are sticking around

Music and headphones got me through many bad patches in my teens. I would even study with them on. You do have to be careful not to overdo it. Sometimes I have trouble hearing what people say, though maybe that has more to do with my only hearing what I wanna hear and not due to actual deafness. Only listen to your really favorite songs on really loud and the rest at a regular volume to balance things a bit.
Yeah, the closed headphones look so much cooler than those stupid earbuds anyway. :
: Or maybe I'm just old-fashioned like that.
While I love music, I usually have the volume just about high enough to still be able to hear what goes on around me. I don't want to really hear every word people utter, I do want to be able to when I focus on it (music or no).
Nowadays I only listen to music when I'm at home, and mostly through speakers. YouTube's a bit too awesome to having to tolerate hassling with fiddly wires and managing mp3 storage space.

I mostly listen to really loud music in my car, but I do spend a great deal of time with headphones, especially when I must go out in public.. My hearing is damaged in the higher frequencies but mainly because of the weapons I have used in the Military (M16, M4, M9, M240b, M249, M2 .50 cal.. et cetera..)
