I think you will agree that going into further details of human anatomy and physiology would be excessive for this list. In summary all I wanted was to alert any musician who excessively uses headphones to the risk of doing so. Thought of a musician and/or music lover losing hearing, even if partially, is quite painful. So, I guess we have to agree on some details but I am sure we both wish the same thing.
