Different individuals may be impacted to a different degree by high noise levels (volumes exceeding 85 dB(A)). Regular exposure to loud headphones may be dangerous to your hearing and can cause permanent hearing loss. Please review and consider the following Occupational Safety Health Administration ("OSHA") guidelines regarding the maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage may occur. Sound Pressure Level dB(A) 90 95 100 105 110 Permissible Noise Exposure Duration (per day) 8 hours 4 hours 2 hours 1 hour 30 minutes Warning: Exposure to sound pressure levels above 115 dB(A) for even short periods of time can cause permanent hearing damage. The preceding OSHA exposure levels should be considered maximum limits. Compliance with the OSHA limits will not necessarily provide you with protection from potential hearing loss.
