85 dBA: 8 hours.
110 dBA: one minute and 29 seconds

If you must be exposed to noise, it is recommended that you limit the exposure time and/or wear hearing protection. A three dBA increase doubles the amount of noise, and halves the recommended amount of exposure time.

Noise levels above 140dBA can cause damage to hearing after just one exposure.
