It pretty much makes you deaf.

I wont get complicated, but pretty much, there are cells with hairs sticking out of them in an organ within your inner ear. When loud music plays, vibrations are sent from your ear drum, amplified through the malleus, incus and stapes and are passed onto the oval window. These vibrations are sent through a thick fluid called the endolymph and this moves those hair cells. The hairs (stereocillia) pick up vibrations depending on their length. If there is too much energy in the vibrations, the cells become useless and you lose hearing in that particular frequency... forever!

How loud or soft a sound is perceived to be?

The perception of how loud or soft a sound is depends on the intensity of the sound wave, measured in decibels (dB). The range of human hearing typically spans from 0 dB (threshold of hearing) to 120 dB (threshold of discomfort or pain). The perceived loudness also varies based on individual hearing sensitivity and the frequency of the sound wave.

What does loudness depend upon?

Loudness depends on the amplitude of sound waves, which determines the intensity or strength of the sound. The larger the amplitude, the louder the sound. Additionally, factors like distance from the sound source, the acoustics of the environment, and individual hearing abilities can also influence perceived loudness.

What units is the loudness of sound measured?

Units used to measure loudness are Sone (loudness N) and Phon (loudness level L). Scroll down to related links and look at "Loudness - Wikipedia" and "Sound level change and the change of the respective factor of volume and loudness"
