It is an indication that some damage has occurred. If you are exposed to extended periods of high volume, you first lose your ability to hear higher frequencies.<br><b>References : </b><br> Here is a rule of thumb for permanent hearing loss vs exposure time:

85db = 8 hours
88db = 4 hours
91db = 2 hours
94db = 1 hours
97db = 30 minutes
100db = 15 minutes
103db = 7.5 minutes
106db = 3.8 minutes
109db = 1.9 minutes
112db = 1 minute
115db = 30 seconds
118db = 15 seconds
121db = 7.5 seconds
124db = 3.8 seconds
127db = 1.9 seconds
130db = 1 second
133db = 1/2 second
136db = 1/4 second
139db = 1/8 second
142db= 1/16 second

Always turn a volume control down to minimum or near minimum before switching sources in an audio system or before listening something unknown. If the volume was under the control of the store you should be able to claim for the discomfort and mental anguish they caused. Quite a stupid thing to do, whoever was responsible.<br><b>References : </b><br> If the volume was under your control you should have learned a useful lesson.

Hes pretty old, and he has a hard time hearing because he used to listen to loud music when he was little. It sucks because its hard to really get your hearing back to the way it was before once you damage it enough, so I wouldnt recommend turning the volume up to loud. Headphones that go around your ears, not inside them, are also advised. And yes, even a second can damage of loud sound can damage your hearing, but will be pretty slight and I am sure you wont notice the difference after a while. Your lucky though I want bose headphones right now, heard the quality on those bad boys are pretty darn good lol.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes, I did a research paper for my physics proffessor about sound, and I he taught me to reduce the volume as much as possible.

However, it's not likely that an Ipod could get loud enough to damage your hearing that quickly. They have limited the output of these devices for several years now. At their loudest volume, though, sustained listening at peak can damage hearing, even with the limitation in output.<br><b>References : </b><br> If it’s loud enough it can damage your hearing instantaneously (e.g., gunshot).
