The next factor is time. Music played at 90 decibels for an 8-hour period each day can cause hearing damage, but the equivalent amount of damage can result from music played at 130 decibels for fewer than four minutes in a day. So it's a question of "how loud" for "how long".
The ear can be exposed to short periods in excess of 120 dB without permanent harm, although with discomfort and possibly pain; but long term exposure to sound levels over 80 dB can cause permanent hearing loss. The highest "safe" level is 80 decibels. A car horn is 108 decibels. 80 dB(A) would be about the volume of an alarm clock.

Why does the volume blast when you plug headphones into your iTouch?
Because when you use the headphones and turn the volume up, then take the headphones out, the iPod stores what the volume was when the headphones were in, so next time you plug the headphones in, it goes back to that same volume.
Why can't you raise the maximum volume to the hardware's capability?
Some videos and music just play at a low volume. I have several pairs of headphones that are capable of very high volumes, but are limited to the volume of the video/music I am watching/listening to.

Not unless the headphones are equipped with a microphone. Hands-free headsets contain both a speaker & a microphone. Bluetooth headphones (for listening to music) don't normally incorporate a microphone.
Can in-ear headphones be used on the MacBook?
There is an audio-out plug next to the USB plugs. Headphones and in-ear headphones can be plugged in there. Volume can be controlled by the Mac volume control, or if present, volume control on the headphone wire. Be sure volume is not too loud when headphones or in-ear headphones are used. Excessive volume can damage hearing ability.
