Are phone amplifiers bad for your hearing?

1 Answer

Answer :

They can be bad for your hearing if they are putting out more than 105 dB. 10 minutes of noise at 105 dB can damage your hearing. Though minor damage can be repaired by itself, repeatedly getting minor damage adds up to major damage and hearing loss.
