Do earplugs effectively mitigate the hearing damage caused by the low frequency bass that you feel in your bones?
- yorwba 9y agoInaudible sounds are precisely those that don't resonate with your hair cells at any frequency, so if you only feel the sound but don't hear it there's no way it can damage your hearing.
- cellularmitosis 9y agoThe volume required to cause damage goes up as the frequency goes down. Bass has to be ridiculously loud to cause damage. A club which turned up the bass to create a good "feel", but turned down the treble, would save a lot of wear and tear on people's hearing.
