OT, but anyway: This is a big problem in Germany. I only visit night
clubs when a girlfriend 'force' me to do it and I always wear hearing
protection. Now it becomes topic again: At those high levels, I don't
have any feeling for what could be half as loud. I only have an idea of
'half as loud', when the acoustic pressure doesn't hurt.
