Went to Commencement... Pretty Loud

A peak of 92 is even doable without earplugs, as long as it's not sustained for an hour or so.
even with crappy earplugs there is nothing to worry about, even if it's sustained..

There is also something less threatening - to me at least - about the noise of chatter compared to the noise of a nightclub or concert. I've never come away from a conference type atmosphere, or football match, with ringing ears, ever. Same goes for the cinema as well. But every nightclub, or gig, I ever went to, I always came out with ringing in my ears. Obviously, this was all in my pre-bad T days.

This is also just my opinion based on my experiences of noise.

That is not a big deal, if you yelled something that's probably that loud. Bill Bauer is absolutely wrong about this.
