Going to Bars/Clubs/Concerts with Hearing Protection — Wise or Not?

I missed the concert and it sucked watching my friends go!! Proper jealous :’(

 

I’m not sure how to measure it, but I think it is on the milder side. It can be masked when I’m outdoors by background noises

 

im sorry to hear this! It sucks that you can’t tell until the damage is done! Wish there was an indicator during the event, right?
I still don’t know my limits, and I’m too scared to test them. Life’s been hard.

 

I’m sorry I got to this so late.

I’m still avoiding anything that can potentially make things worse, but because I don’t know my limit, it’s hard to tell what I can and cannot do. I haven’t been doing much socialising because of the fear of a spike.

 

Wouldn't risk it... Maybe if the music isn't in a small venue or closed in spaces, but it's still a risk. I rely on my Apple Watch to alert me of loud noises now.

 

It was in the O2 Arena London which is the 2nd largest U.K. arena! Apparently it was still pretty loud on the seated area where my tickets were booked for. I didn’t know where the speakers were placed either.

Oh wow the Apple watch thing sounds handy! You’ve convinced me to get one haha

 

It's excellent, I can monitor my surroundings just by looking at my Apple Watch...

Look into it. The app is called "Noise" and it's a certified apple application made professionally.

 

Thank you!!
Reckon it’ll work on my iPhone instead?

 

It's limited to apple watch, there are apps on iphone though. one called dB meter. But it doesn't constantly monitor and you have to open app and get phone out of pocket and such

 

thank you! I actually have that app already!
What is your noise limit set to?

 

It's set to 85dB
