In the presence of a continuous 130dB signal, it is demonstrably impossible for even young, healthy, twenty somethings to distinguish shouted human voices from more than 3 meters away. In the absence of that background noise, those same ears could likely hear the same shouted voice more than 50 meters away.
One factor in this is that you're pushing the ears to the pain threshold. In my case, my ears "clip" before even getting to the point of pain. Clipping is the best word I can think of to describe it, sound becomes extremely distorted like I've hit a hard limit. In very loud stadium crowd environments, and at some loud concerts, I have to wear earplugs to hear anything because otherwise my ears are being driven to the limit.
