According to the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, the
maximum safe exposure to noise is no
more than 85 decibels (dB) over a period
of 8 hours. A mere 3 dB increase actually
doubles the sound intensity, reducing the
exposure time to no more than 4 hours.
At 110 dB, one should not be exposed
for more than a minute and a half. A
short, loud and intense sound such as
an explosion or a gunshot may cause
immediate hearing loss.
Prolonged exposure, without protection, to
noise levels above 85 decibels or sudden,
loud and intense noises can lead to
permanent hearing loss and/or tinnitus.
