I was at a concert at a dance hall recently and the opening act was blaring away at 110db (hearing damage can occur within a couple of minutes). I had left my ear plugs at home in the other car.
Even at the back of the venue the sound level was still 100db.
I left, at first thinking I wouldn't be coming back, but then looked up the nearest pharmacy where I went and bought some foam ear plugs that knock out about 33db.
I don't know how ANYBODY could stand the sound in there that loud. My ears were literally ringing when I was driving to the pharmacy. And I've noticed that my tinnitus has kicked up a notch (used to hardly notice it at all, now it's noticeable again). |
You’re correct. I would likely be a great deal less than that.
