Understanding Noise Exposure
Hearing safety is a function of both volume (loudness) and duration. The louder the sound, the less time you can be exposed to it before risking hearing damage. This tool uses standards similar to those from the World Health Organization (WHO) and NIOSH, which state that for every 3-decibel (dB) increase in volume, the permissible safe listening time is cut in half.
