Before I enter a night club, forced by a girlfriend, I do smoke some
green tobacco cigarettes myself and I anyway can't stand this insane
loudness. Without smoking this kind of tobacco first, I would kill the
DJ + bouncers. I wounder about the German regulatory agency, they should
close all those night clubs.

That is because your ear shuts down with a bone bending to protect
itself to anything above. That bending is what hurts...
So you hearing goes into saturation for anything above that level.
Which makes it quite hard to determine "half as loud" when you
don't know how loud it really is...
Have fun,

So, without being aware of it, I know that I don't know the real
loudness. Is it the same for everybody or just for people who have
the feeling to protect their ears, resp. to get out of this
loudness hell?
A lot of people 'join' this hell. What's about those people?
