PROTECT YOUR HEARING BEFORE YOU NOTICE A CHANGE
For musicians and audio professionals, both sound level and exposure time matter. The louder the environment, the less time you can safely spend in it without appropriate hearing protection.
Sound Level — Recommended Maximum Exposure*
85 dBA — 8 hours
88 dBA — 4 hours
91 dBA — 2 hours
94 dBA — 1 hour
97 dBA — 30 minutes
100 dBA — 15 minutes
103 dBA — 7.5 minutes
*Based on NIOSH recommended exposure limits. Individual risk may vary
WHY HEARING CONSERVATION MATTERS
Repeated exposure to high sound levels can contribute to hearing loss, tinnitus, changes in sound tolerance, and other auditory difficulties. For musicians, even subtle changes can affect how you perceive pitch, balance, dynamics, and the nuances of music.
Hearing changes can develop gradually and may not be noticeable at first. Regular hearing evaluations and appropriate hearing protection can help you understand your hearing and make informed decisions about protecting it throughout your career.
