Why do louder volumes hurt your ears less during the day than they do at night? For example I can have my headphone volume at about 7/10 and my ears feel comfortable, however the same volume at night not only sounds louder but makes it uncomfortable to listen to, so I have to turn it to 3/10 which makes it more comfortable.

Nighttime is quiet, so your ears are no longer accustomed to loud noises – making louder volumes seem unbearable.
Also, I imagine it’s a psychological effect too. You’re brain is more relaxed and tired at night, so it’s not ready for intensity. This is why music seems faster at night too – your brain is processing slower which makes the music feel faster.
