I read that you need to listen 8 hours to 85dB before damage is done but what does that really mean? Is it like running rapidly on hot coal or moving your hand fast through fire without feeling anything, or does sound energy work in a very different way compared to heat and loud music causes immediate damage to occur regardless of the duration of exposure?
I'm asking this because I had my earphones on when I was tweaking some settings in my Android phone. I wanted to turn my ringtone/notification volume to max and my phone started blasting my very loud ringtone through its speakers and through my earphones. It was about 90-95dB loud which I hear can cause permanent damage after 30mins-2hours. I plugged them out in like 2 seconds but did they manage to do any damage to my ears in that very short period?
I wonder why Google's idiotic software engineers thought doing this was a wise choice. You dared to turn your ringtone volume to 100%? You deserve to be punished with 95dB!
