The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
So, what can you do to protect your hearing if you're going to a loud concert like that? Definitely wear earplugs. You can even measure sound intensities if you want to be very quantitative about it, because now you have a rough formula. You can get a dB app on your phone. It's free. You can measure it. And let's say if it's 120 decibel at the concert you're using, then wear earplugs that provide at least 30 decibel of attenuation.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
They do. It really depends on whether they are fitted properly, and how much attenuation they are designed to provide. Because some provide only 10 to 15 decibel of attenuation, and others provide 30 decibel of attenuation.
