I had a accident 7 years ago that caused me to loose 1/3 of the sensitivity in my left ear. I position myself right to the speaker, sometimes in meetings when there is one round table with 30 people on it and presenter in one end and you are a bit late is not nice.
However there is nothing shameful to speak with your colleges and switch seats.The guys that I met frequently knew it already so they save me place on the right side close to the speaker/presenter.
I am always full game sound off with moderate level of music in the background.
It could be helpful but I play for fun and have no intention to hear the explosions and pew pew.
Also about sleeping I can hear distinctive sounds that I know well like my alarm but you could have small party in the next room and it wont bother me.
My advice- ignore all types of headphones, no matter how good they are, prolonged use would damage your hearing eventually. If you are some young teen you might value the extra frags more but several years later you would regret big time using aggressive in-game sound on headphones.
Also avoid some types of parties where the music is brutal, it is really bad for you.
I suggest to watch this film : It’s All Gone Pete Tong
