High bass levels are safe while comparable high-frequency levels risk hearing.

Evidence

Interestingly, dB A provides a better assessment of a specific sound’s potential for hearing loss than dB SPL, and is therefore often used to describe the sound level in industrial environments and for noise dosing. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 757 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
