Hearing is the result of sound vibrations pushing on the eardrum, which carries them to the bones and nerves in the inner ear. Loud, high-pitched, or continuous noises can distend or rupture the delicate eardrum, or over-excite the interior nerves. This can cause partial or complete deafness, which can be permanent or temporary depending on the injury. Listening to loud music will cause a pain reaction in the nerves of the ear, which can release the body chemicals called endorphins. This is one reason that rock music creates a pleasurable experience. Eventually this will reduce hearing sensitivity by injury to these nerves.
