Description: How much volume can your eardrum handle before bursting? Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Brainiac We’ve all heard that same old tired spiel from our parents. “Turn down your music, or you’ll go deaf!” The standard response is to shrug your shoulders, or roll your eyes, and think about how lame safety is. But what if we told you, your parents were right? Listening to loud enough noises for an extended period of time can lead to hearing loss, and noises above a certain threshold can even RUPTURE your eardrum! So check out the video above, and we’ll answer all your innermost questions. Questions like, exactly how loud does a sound have to be for it to rupture your eardrum? What does a burst eardrum feel like? And if you burst your eardrum, will you ever be able to hear again? Stick around ‘til the end, and you’ll even find out about a peculiar benefit of rupturing your ears (and the reason why a particular tribe of seafaring folk called the Bajau purposefully do it to themselves)! Still listening? Okay, let's dive in!
