Concerts and tours back in full swing,
However, with the Delta variant quickly spreading, it’s hard to predict how long we can enjoy the return of live music for. In the meantime, music lovers can prepare to see their favorite artists on stage for the first time in years.
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, prolonged exposure to loud music can damage cells in the inner ear and cause noise-induced hearing loss or tinnitus. Anything above 85 decibels can damage your hearing, and most live concerts reach 100 decibels near where the audio console is set up.
