WARNING

Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss.

Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time.

The U.S. Government’s Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:

Duration Per Day In Hours Sound Level dBA, Slow Response

90db - 8 hours max.
92db - 6 hours max
95db - 4 hours

102db - 1.5 hours max.
105db - 1 hour max.
110db - 30 minutes max.
115db - 15 minutes max.

According to OSHA USA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss.

Your hearing health is in your hands.
