While daydreaming, I have noticed I need high volume. Nowadays I am scared that because of that intense high volume I might have some dead brain cells in my head. I asked my sister to confiscate my headset but somehow I find some excuse to use them (I sometimes end up arguing with my sister that I wont daydream and use it for some videos or lectures but I know I will end up daydreaming with it). Does anyone feel the same? Requires high volume?

Yeah I need high volume music too. My music rarely goes below full volume. However I think my AirPods are quieter than normal ones and I contemplated replacing them but it's probably for the best I stick with the ones I already have.

Yes, I often blast the music and I do worry about the effect on my hearing. But not enough to stop blasting music .

Is it possible to go to a hearing clinic for a free hearing check where you live? In my country hearing clinics usually offer a free hearing check but only for the first time you go to a particular clinic,so over the years I've gone to many different hearing clinics. I would get a first time hearing test at one clinic then move on to a different clinic the next time I got a hearing test in 2-3 years time and so forth. I did this to keep track of my hearing to see if my exposure to music was making me lose hearing. Hearing loss can go unnoticed at first and gradually get worse over time. Watch out for not being able to hear certain sounds in words such as the f sound at the start of the word fish.
You may be able to train your ears to listen to quieter music over time. I've done this in the past by turning down the volume just a bit waiting for my ears to get used to that volume until the loudness by my ears is being perceived as just as loud as the old volume then turning down the volume a bit more and repeating the process. Over time by doing this my ears became more sensitive to lower volumes so I didn't notice the difference in the lower volume I was listening to compared to the old volume.
Also reducing the amount of time you listen to music in one go can be helpful. Ears can better take louder doses in noise if it's in shorter durations.
I'm not completely sure about this but I'm heard over ear headphones are better than earbuds. I've also heard as a rule of thumb not to listen to music more than half the volume of the music device you are listening to.But then again different music devices can sometimes put out different volumes of music at the same level depending on the type of headphones you are using.

I will take your advice. I can't go to hearing clinic (my family will make a big fuse about it). Instead of that argument, it's better to stop listening in ear phones overall. It's time to not let MD physically harm me. It's going to be difficult but I will try to.
