There was a thread about exactly this some time ago, concluding: maybe the ear
adapts to the things you listen and will stop filtering when all this things
are done before by the codec, but this is not considered dangerous excecpt you
wouldn't listen to anything else than compressed music/speech. Go out, talk
with people, visit some concerts, etc. and it will most likely not damage
anything.
