Worryingly, the majority of music lovers overestimate how long they can safely listen to loud music without hearing protection. 🎵🎧
Our research from 2025 showed that 78% of people were unaware that a concert, festival, gig or nightclub at 100 decibels could cause permanent hearing damage after as little as 15 minutes, with many wrongly believing they could listen safely without hearing protection for up to four hours.
