Effects of Loud Sound
Health Harvard reported that the safe audio level is lower than 85 dB. Decibels higher than that can already cause ear damage if exposed for more than two hours.

This means that your ear cells can have permanent damage if you continue listening to very high audio levels.
In other stories, the iPhone battery percentage icon returns, thanks to the arrival of iOS 16 Beta.
