Statistics

The following regulations were established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Notice that for every increase of 5 dBs, the permissible exposure time is cut in half. Keep in mind hearing damage is a result of time + exposure.

OSHA Regulation 1910.95 Occupational Noise Exposure Table:

Duration Per Day	Decibels
8 Hours	90
6 Hours	92
4 Hours	95
3 Hours	97
2 Hours	100
1.5 Hours	102
1 Hour	105
30 Minutes	110
15 Minutes	115

Now consider the sound levels in the below table. Today's clubs, concerts, and music events are clearly capable of damaging your hearing without some sort of earplug device.

Standard Decibel Levels:

Decibel Level	Example
60 db	Everyday conversation, ringing telephone
70 dB	Restaurant
80 dB	Heavy city traffic, vacuum cleaner, garbage disposal
90 dB	Subway trains, motorcycle, workshop tools, lawn mower
100 dB	Chain saw, pneumatic drill
110 dB	Dance club
120 dB	Rock concert speaker sound, sandblasting, thunderclap
130 dB	Jet take off, gunfire

Years of loud music can result in "Noise Induced Hearing Loss" or in the development of "Tinnitus" (a permanent ringing in the ears that never goes away). Both of these conditions are cumulative, meaning you usually aren't aware of them until it's too late. There is nothing you can do to revert these conditions once you have them. The only thing you can do is prevent them from prevent them from getting worse or prevent them from occuring in the first place.

A lot of DJs and Musicians don't like wearing regular foam earplugs because of the muffled sound they get. In order to accurately perform, you need to be able to hear all frequencies evenly. DJ/Musician Earplugs are the answer.
