Sound pressure is measured in decibels (dB). Like a temperature scale, the decibel scale goes below zero. The average person can hear sounds down to about 0 dB, the level of rustling leaves. Some people with very good hearing can hear sounds down to -15 dB. If a sound reaches 85 dB or stronger, it can cause permanent damage to your hearing. The amount of time you listen to a sound affects how much damage it will cause. The quieter the sound, the longer you can listen to it safely.
* Just 1 minute of exposure to noises at this level can result in permanent hearing loss, according to the National Institutes of Health. * Continual exposure to noises in this range can cause permanent hearing loss. I recommend maintaining levels below 75 decibels and listening to your ears, says Dr. Watts. If a sound is too loud, remove yourself from the situation or put on proper hearing protection..
