Most people think of a gun blast as loud, but can classical music damage hearing?
Any sound, if loud enough, can damage your hearing. Whether you like listening to the Bee Gees, Led Zeppelin or Beethoven, if music is played loud enough it can harm you hearing – permanently. From the toys children play with, to walkmans or car stereos, to lawnmowers or chainsaws, to factory noise and other recreational hobbies (wood-workers) and professions (pilots), all have the potential to have a permanent effect on hearing if not properly controlled.
