How come I knew you were gonna do that. I was being a smart arsh. Lol. But check this out. You can listen at 85db for 8 consecutive hours where it will then start hearing damage. I'd never listen at the level for that long in 1 sitting. I'd say I'm around 78-80db's during a consistent long listening session. This really is good stuff and Interesting for all our ear protection in this hobby.
