Can Beats By Dr Dre make you go deaf?

Okay I got Beats By Dre headphones SOLO HD's for Christmas and I love them. I listen to them constantly. (Kinda.) And I have noticed my ears will feel kinda stopped up? And I have/hear ringing in them? I listen to them around 4-5 hours a day on my iPhone. I turn the little volume thing a little below half way or lower on the iPod app. So it's not that loud to be honest. Could this be the cause of the problem?
Ringing in ears. (When quiet)
Wheezing. (Occasionally)
Heart beat. (Occasionally)
Feels stopped up. (Most of the time; sometimes)

Your probably not used to the quality?

Any loud music played at close range to the eardrum can cause permanent damage and defness. At this point you have damaged your ear drum or other parts of the inner ear. It will heal in time. But not if you keep listening to loud music. I lost my right eat at a rhcp concert I was standing very near the speaker and hilel Slovak hit a really bad note. I'm now deaf in that ear except for a constant ringing sensation. Turn it down.

Sometimes I listen to music for 4-5 hours a day and I have never experienced this problem and I tend to listen loud compared to some people but not loud enough for others. Maybe it's the beats that are the problem? My ears have only ever rung from being ill or after a night of clubbing so it does sound odd that you're experiencing this. I'd suggest seeing your doctor maybe if your worried. I've heard that If you listen to a lot of loud music it can cause excess wax to build up which could be causing your 'stopped up' ears. DO NOT stick a q-tip in your ears though as this can damage them.

Your not used to it

You might have ear problems which are not even related to listening to music all day. I would get them checked out by a doctor just to be safe. I've noticed though when you have ear phones which close all around your ear. When you take them off. The change in pressure and adjusting of sounds can make you feel like you can't hear like you could. It usually stops after my ears readjust though.

Long listening without giving your ear to rest is the problem. Its probably not the volume but you might want to dim your time listening to music to 2-3 hours a day but after you rest from listening to music a couple of days in order for your ears to rest.

You can go deaf with any headphone. Just don't listen to music with high volume, and use speakers when you can. Using headphones for long periods is not recommended.

  • Will my Beats by dre Mixr sound better on the Samsung Galaxy S3, or iPhone? Basically my old contract has ended and i'm looking to purchase a new phone, and it's between the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3. One of the main features that i'm looking at is the sound quality with the Beats headphones, as i also have an ipod but it's quite old. Is the sound quality better with the iPhone 5 or samsung galaxy s3? Sound quality with the Beats by Dre headphones comparing the iPhone5 with the SG3.
  • Why don't Beats by Dre Solo HD Work w/ iPhone 5? Got some beats solo hd to go with my iPhone 5 and the speaker doesn't work on the right side. After I checked, it says the solos are only compatible up to the 4s. Anyone know why the iPhone 5 isn't on this list?
  • Why do so many people hate on beats by dre? I paid 350 and the sound quality is amazing on my iphone 4s. People say they are a waste of money, but the people who say that is because they can't afford them. The design of the headphones are great so stop hating on them because you know you test them out every time you go to best buy haha.
  • Why Are My Dre Beats Audio Messed Up? I bought my pair of Dre Beats Solo HD 199.99 yesterday. I plugged them in my phone and noticed that the bass and EVERYTHING was perfect but, the singer i couldn't even make out what he was saying IT WAS So SOFT. So i plug them into my computer and it works fine? It says its Iphone 3GS compatible what's wrong?
