Is it bad to hear headphones in one ear?

It’s actually not OK to turn up the volume beyond 60\%, even if you only use one earbud. You can still damage your hearing because each ear has a separate hearing system. If the sound is louder than 60\% of maximum volume, all you’re doing is giving both ears equal “damage time.”

Do earphones damage ears at low volume?

Loud music through headphones can damage the inner ear and cause hearing loss. On an Apple iPhone, the maximum volume while wearing headphones is equal to 102 decibels. This means that hearing damage can occur after listening to just a few songs at this range. Even at lower ranges, it’s easy to be within unsafe levels.

Consider stereo sound a kind of depth perception, only in 3d. When you listen to only one earphone it robs your mind of any spacial awareness from the sound, greatly “flattening” the sound. The sound is then perceived at less than half the volume so the normal tendency is to turn up that headphone more than twice as loud.
