It's OK, I don't mind.

But if you remember she had a sizable hearing loss and 68dB would never do.

...the hearing loss was only in one ear.
well one ear was dead since she was a teenager from an accident and she wore an aid in the other as I recall

How good does your hearing really have to be to simply check the sound level? And how do we know the OP is Elizabeth anyway?
Same listed occupation, exact same audio equipment, same location, same disposition as Elisabeth.
If it squawks like a duck, and walks like a duck, it is a duck.

You could be right. I don't know Elizabeth personally, only from this forum.
I've done the same thing myself a few times. Any woman who is brave enough to hang out here has to have a pretty thick skin to put up with all the sexist BS.

So 68 is right in the ballpark of civilized noise making.
Perhaps you have a hearing problem, and need it louder? That is understandable. And some folks just want to blow their hearing all to Hell. No sympathy from me there.
I have always kept the music at lower levels once I reached 'adulthood'.. Believe it or not, with a constant use of low levels like 55dB for Chamber music, 80 is really really loud in comparison.
My one exception to the low levels is some opera. I just love a full blown opera voice.
So some operas I listen at as high a dB level as 80dB.
I was a board certified hearing instrument specialist for about five years and know the numbers. I have excellent hearing my audiogram looks great, only 3K is 10dB down.
I do like loud from time to time. I follow the OSHA guidelines and then some.
