Evidence please?

  That's like asking evidence that sugar consumption leads to obesity but pick the one you like the most: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=headphones+hearing+loss&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp=&oq=headphones+hearing https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=headphones+hearin...

    No article on the first two pages supporting your claim. There mentions of the fact that headphones are capable of producing dangerous volumes (which is an important point), but nothing to indicate that headphone use in itself is damaging.

      I took music for granted tbh, that's why it seemed self-evident.

        It's not even that "headphones + music == hearing_loss", it's "headphones + too_loud_music == hearing_loss". But, given that "too_loud_music == hearing_loss", it seems that headphones aren't super related.

          exactly. if you listen at a normal level there's nothing to suggest that there's any hearing damage at all.

    Your claim was that "wearing headphones daily will cause hearing loss". The links you provide seem to all talk about excessive noise. Do you have anything that talks specifically about reduced volume long duration headphone wearing?
