Can sound with high intensity but high frequency hurt my hearing?

[just_For_ipod]

If I am listening to a 19,000Hz sound, at lets say 130dB, but I can hardly hear it and I don't feel any pain. Is it still hurting me? Or is the frequency too high and my ears aren't sensitive enough for it to hurt me?

130db is looooud. It may not seem like its damaging, but to listen to anything in the +130db range for a prolonged period of time will cause you harm.

Yes, it will damage your hearing. You don't need to feel pain for something to be doing damage.

What the hell are you listening to anyways?

Wow, thats close to the threshold of hearing. Best to avoid that, or else you'll soon have to listen to your ipod through a hearing aid.
