Dangerous decibels


Bulletpoint as many of the important ideas and facts we learned at Dangerous Decibels as you possibly can:

  • Decibels is a unit that is measured to find out sound
  • You shouldn't have your headphone music further than 60 % of its capability
  • Anything over 130 can cause instant hearing loss
  • The further you are away from the sound the less dangerous it is to your ears
  • You can only stay in a rock concert for ten seconds without protection.
  • We have little hairs in our ears that are very delicate and if they are destroyed instant hearing loss can happen.
  • If you have to shout to talk to someone the sound is to loud.
  • If the decibel is under 80 you source for ever
