Why Hearing Protection Is So Important
One of the most common types of hearing loss is noise-induced hearing loss, or NIHL. Repeated exposure to sound levels above 85 decibels (dB; about the sound of a blender) can cause permanent, irreparable hearing loss.
Putting that in perspective, loud music, either live or through headphones, is particularly dangerous, with sound intensity reaching 100 dB (the sound of a jackhammer). This is where hearing protection comes in.
