Several people suffer from noise-induced hearing loss, and at times, this results from a one-time exposure to loud sound. On the other hand, repeated exposure to sound at various loudness levels over an extended period is harmful. What is the best way out of this?
There is sound in our environment, and those from television, radio, and other household appliances should be at safe levels. The issue with NIHL is that it can be immediate or can be discoverable after a long time. Wearing protective devices when involved in a loud activity can help, and so can knowing that noises at or above 85dBA can be hazardous.
The more noise pollution you live around on a daily basis should help dictate how loud your personal audio in your personal space should be. If you live in the country, for example, you can crank it a little louder because your eardrums have not been bombarded by different levels of noise all day.
Your eardrums are not bullet proof, so they should not be "shot at" constantly all day.
