In-Ear Headphone, Possable Ear Dammage?

[Lanfear]

Is it possable that using In-Ear Headphones, like Shure E2c's can dammage your hearing? Any worce or faster than other normal headphones? This is at normal volume bye the way, because a while after using In-Ear Headphones I'm developing Tenitus :S Any thoughts out there?

And this is at 20%-40% Volume level.. nothing abnormal.

I'm not sure if Tenitus is from my Ipod, or my Shures, but Its all that I can think of.

Any headphones, earphones, in-ears can damage your hearing. Use caution and common sense. If your ears start to hurt, stop listening to music.
