According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, prolonged exposure to loud music can damage cells in the inner ear and cause noise-induced hearing loss or tinnitus. Anything above 85 decibels can damage your hearing, and most live concerts reach 100 decibels near where the audio console is set up.
