So I'm really making an effort to manage my listening levels and with some help from other forum members I now have a rudimentary SPL measurement setup for my IEMs, consisting of a Vibro Veritas coupler (calibrated with a multimeter and some Etymotic IEMs) and the SPL meter in REW.
I can now take a rough measurement of music playing in my DAP through my IEMs into the coupler, however I'm a little unsure of what results I should be taking notice of.
I'm aware that if I want to listen to music for a prolonged amount of time, let's say up to 8 hours, then I shouldn't excede 85db, however I have no idea whether it is the max level or the peak ;evel that should be monitored.
I've spent several hours trying to google this, but unfortunately I'm still none the wiser. Could someone help me out here please? I don't think my hearing is in the best shape after decades of unintentional abuse and I really don't want to make it worse.
Cheers
