Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage?

If you need to turn it up loud to sound good, then your system needs work.

 

I have some damage from when I was young and couldn’t afford a good system.

Agreed.

I have some damage from guitar amps and at 67, have no desire to incur any further damage. 75 db peaks is my top limit. Most of the time it's more like 70db.

I typically listen at 65 to 70db with peaks to 75db. 
 

The caution is that over 85db for eight or more hours can cause hearing damage, 88db for 4 hours, 91 db for 2 hours. 70 db or under is OK for as long as you want. 
 

So, unless you are into headbanging volumes you are probably good. 
 

Maximum 80 db. Plenty loud enough and does not worsen my tinnitus.

Same boat...

Maybe 85 dB peaks, average 70dB.

I recently compared dB Pro and NIOSH SLM (free) and they are virtually the same.

I designed my system to protect my already damaged ears.

As I write this I’m listening to TP Echo 65dB avg / 85dB peaks and it fills my large room with satisfying sound - and at 10ft from the speakers is more then enough to feel the music.

@moonwatcher tinnitus is the brain’s perception of / compensation for hearing loss - it can’t really change with stress but the perception can be affected by blood pressure and other things (alcohol, coffee etc.) - it also cannot be measured, your actual hearing loss can be quantified, of course.

Moderate levels these days. Yrs ago I had three big Carvers running bullet proof Axiom speakers. I could dim the lights when I cranked em up. Not too smart. Paying for it now.
