99 Decibels. There is no chance to survive into deafness if it reached 99 decibels or more while listening to an unpleasant sound.

Know the decibels of a sound. If this is rising, go away to the loud sound and go to a silent place as fast as you can. Just follow this and you will survive Deafness. Don't forget to cover your ears while doing this to reduce the chance of being deaf.
