A surgeon (Otoneurologist) once told me anytime there's a person in a car with a system so loud that the car vibrates and everyone within 50 feet can hear, is absolutely causing permanent damage to their hearing (I've had two surgeries on my semicircular canals to resolve severe balance problems so I've had dozens of discussions with hearing and balance doctors).
I also wonder about the guy in my neighborhood who has a modified Harley-Davidson that is SO loud it sets off car alarms. He wears a half-helmet so I can only assume it might take a toll on his hearing.

One thing about hearing--once it is damaged it is damaged no going back. Most people--myself included listen too loud

Caution and discretion should be used, but loud, continuous machinery generating 100 db. In that area will do more damage without proper protection.
I keep a headband ear protector in my deck box for just outside cleaning.

Not a great survey IMHO, SORRY. VOLUME IS MUSIC DEPENDENT most of the time. Jazz & easy listening as well as some blues are at conversational volumes Where asHead banging or Hard rock requires much higher dbs
