Around 150 decibels would make you become deaf, and, unbelievably, around 190 decibels could kill you.
It depends also on the listening time. More than 85 dB SPL a long time is not good for your ears. One bang of 140 dB SPL will hurt you very much.

If you've ever blown a dog whistle and made your pup yelp in pain while you couldn't hear a thing then you understand. The vibrations that you feel are low frequency sound waves which your body can feel but your ears can't hear. It is only when the higher frequency waves get to you that you hear the source.
