Is loud music bad for the health?

I can’t really say for sure. I’ve seen studies that seem to say it’s bad for hearing and sleep, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad for your general health.

It's bad for your hearing?

Yes, loud noise at a certain decibel range can cause hearing damage over time. The louder the sound, the more likely it is to be damaging to hearing. There's also evidence that excessively loud sounds can interfere with sleep. But it's not clear that any of these effects are big enough to be concerning over the course of a lifetime.

How about listening to loud music only occassionally?
