The human ear can detect from 0 dB to 120 dB without suffering damage. Some pelople can hear sounds that are quieter than 0 dB. Sounds louder than 120 dB can be expected to be painful and may result in damage to the eardrum and other parts of the ear. Sounds above about 85 dB, if heard regularly for extended periods of time may cause loss of hearing that cannot be repaired.
