the time of day and age.
If a person were to just wake up and listen loud or run things like vacuum cleaners it's a bit of a shock to the ears. The ears have rested all night and need a bit of acclimation. I avoid my wife then because that's when she does all her vacuuming and I can't stand it. Also -
The decibel level is one thing but the elapsed time makes it worse. Long periods at anything over 90db is not so good and 90 is fairly loud. I don't know how people in machine shops and hot rod garages have any resemblance to hearing over years of 120db. The hearing clamps up so to speak. A few people have told me that their quiet vacation away from anything mankind has a noticeable improvement on their hearing.
I turn things up slowly as time goes on, it helps. I keep seeing law firm commercials suing ear plug makers because veterans have permanent damage now. I use the 30db ear muff kind for noisy crap and if it's real loud I use ear plugs also. Getting older sucks in this pleasurable pastime.
