Most of us have never actually thought about how loud a music festival or concert is in real terms, we just know it's loud and we love it. But when you put the numbers next to each other, it starts to make a lot more sense why your ears feel the way they do the morning after.
Safe listening starts dropping off at 85dB. A typical music festival runs at 110–115dB. That gap is bigger than it sounds — and every time you're in it without any protection, your ears are doing their best to keep up. Just remember to give your ears a break every now and then 🧡
