Hm, isnt it true even very short periods of listening to sounds at >85 dB are damaging? When at a regular pop concert (which is, I believe, at around 100 dB) if Im not wearing protection my ears start ringing after as little as 5-10 minutes.
Oh and something else: I read somewhere that prolonged exposure (for a very looong time) to a certain frequency can cause you to no longer hear that particular frequency, even if the sound had a very low volume. Is there anyone who can confirm this?
