Tinnitus caused by loud noises is typically believed to happen above the 84 decibel level.
To give you some idea of how loud 84 decibels is, imagine your alarm clock being 1 foot away from your ear when it goes off. All alarm clocks very, but you probably have some idea about how loud that is. Another indication of 84 dB is if you were driving in traffic hour with your window down. Some of the most damaging noises are some things you do on a regular basis such as mowing your lawn. A gas powered lawnmower can produce over 100 dB.
Teenagers and young people in their 20’s, often experience tinnitus, because they have a pension to attend rock concerts or rap concerts or any type of concerts, other than classical. I’ve attended a few Dick Dale concerts, who is known for playing louder than advised for anyone to listen to, In fact he turns the speakers up to loud to the point that there is a lot of distortion. I generally suffered 3 days of loud ringing in ear symptoms afterward. A friend of mine who enjoys this type of concert, much more than I do, does indeed suffer from tinnitus, but considers it acceptable in that he just loves loud music. This is not the normal opinion.
Although no study has been able to find a correlation between loud ringing in ear symptoms caused by very loud sound exposure, it is suspected that loud may beget loud.
If you have this problem, I may be able to help with this free formula for tinnitus.
