We hear a lot of different sounds every day.While many of them are safe,

weighted decibels(dBA)(A计权分贝)to measure sound according to what human
ears can actually hear.

Wear hearing protection when the noise is at or above 85 dBA.Many devices
(that teens use today (such as music players)create noise levels at or about
85 dBA.
Wear hearing protection when it is necessary.

110 dBA at their highest volume!
Move away from the noise.
The closer you are to the source of the sound,the louder the sound will be.
