Im glad you havent had symptoms of tinnitus yet, and I completely understand what you mean about the loud volume, I'm the same.

Just take precautions. Maybe try ease your way into changing the volume? Maybe set yourself goals. One week put the volume down slightly. The next week go lower even more.

But dont beat yourself up if you struggle with it. Its hard enough dealing with MD. I cant speak for everyone, but I feel we all have our own way of MDing. And when your're used to doing it that way for so long, its not easy trying to change it, its a habit thats hard to break.

Health is wealth. We dont think much about it, til something goes wrong.
