You are hurting your ears , When your young it sounds great but as you get older you will notice a hearing loss , most likely in the form of Tinitus (constant ringing in your ears) What you do to your self when you are younger WILL haunt you when you are older. I am 38 had the whole loud loud stereo system in my house and car for years, I now have constant rinign in my ears have been to doctors and my blood pressure and everything else checks out just fine. I was told by several doctors the loud music in car and home in my youth caused it and it will never go away.
Take care of your self , just kick it down a couple notches kid.

You are pushing it. Always go on the lighter side. While you are young you think you can take it. People who listen to things to loudly at your age turn into deaf people by the time they are older. I value my hearing too much. Just loud enough for your brain to detect is fine. At first, it will sound too soft, but in time your brain will be trained to be more sensitive to softer sounds and will increase your hearing, not weaken it.

yes, every noise hurts them, just not as badly as others. in my zune directions, it tells me about the noise level and stuff like that, maybe ur ipod directions has that.

Yes! I have a constant ringing in my ears caused by damge done to my ears by loud music. When it comes to the volume on your headphones, lower is better

YES..... Loud music can damage the little hair like sensors around the ear drum, they can break and cause partial earing loss. You may compound the problem by using headphones. I bought myself one of the ones that go on the ear for music and cell phones, I don't position it right over the opening to the ear, just off of it this way it's not echoing down on the ear drum, and I made myself quit cranking up the songs I like.

Yes. Each person's ears have different sensitivity, so experiment. You can check standard decibel levels charts to compare your exposure of loud sounds to. There is lots of evidence that people have damage from loud sounds that shows up later on. Having your hearing tested now would give you a baseline to compare to for seeing how your hearing changes over the next years.

Yes
