Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage?
@hartf36  Being an industrial hygienist sounds very exciting. Thank you for your wonderful reply. I downloaded many apps on my iPad and Niosh is one of them. I get variations of 20 to 30 dB between the apps.  Normal talking volume into my iPad s... 
Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage?

There is a channel called the audio analyst, and this guy has got to be the best technician I've ever heard. He's a really smart guy and a superb reviewer of high-end high-quality components. He really seems to know what he's talking about. By li...
