We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud
noise is often undetectable until it is too late, THIE L and the Electronics Industries Manufacturers Association
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Depending on room size and amplifier power, some
home audio systems can reach sound pressure levels in excess of 95 decibels with peaks of over a 105 decibels. For
your protection, the list below identifies sound levels for various noises.
