Hi, I was wondering if anybody had any advice about what level of decibel is safe to play without ear protection?
In band practice I stand pretty near to the drum kit as it’s a pretty small practice space and it’s on my right side, so I pretty much hear it all in my right ear.
Our drummer wears ear protection. Then we have the guitar and vocals really loud to hear over the the drums. We keep creeping it loader and louder but then our drummer keeps hitting the drums harder and harder. It’s getting louder and louder and I was wondering if I should get some ear protection myself. Does anybody know how loud should be safe and what is the best thing to get to measure the decibel where I’m standing?
Thanks for any advice.
