    Shure SE215 Pro CL. Common features of musician’s in-ears are that the cables are supposed to go around the ear instead of straight down, and many of them have detachable cables. They’re also tuned a little different differently and I think they tend to be louder than standard in-ears.

    in-ears, since they are significantly correlated with hearing loss

    What makes them so hearing-loss inducing? I always thought they were more ear-friendly compared to standard ear-buds or compact overear headphones, because they isolate outside noise better.

      i’d have to ask my wife for specifics, she’s deeper in the Deaf community than i am, but i think it has something to do with being easier to play louder volumes with the speaker too close to your eardrum or cochlea or something. I am not an authoritative source.

        Sounds like it’s a complete non-issue if you’re not consciously trying to blast your ears clean through …

          that’s the thing, it can sneak up on you, especially if you find yourself suddenly in a loud environment. and in my experience, it just takes a single blast of noise.
