Exclamation Hockey arena noise can damage your hearing

Excessive exposure to loud sounds is the leading cause of preventable hearing loss

This report illustrates the impact that even brief exposure to leisure noise can have on an individual's hearing, through the example of a Stanley Cup final hockey game.

The concerts I've been to did more damage than the monster truck rallys I used to BEG my dad to take me to. And power tools are killing what's left after concerts. I think hockey games are like chilling in a library.

Concerts have done more damage to my hearing then any hockey game I've ever been to. I'm convinced that's what's going to make me go deaf is all these metal concerts I go to. I suppose I could get ear plugs, but meh.

The Dome isn't very loud for being an indoor stadium. I go to Seahawks games all the time and their decibel reader will hit 128 in a normal game and I believe in 05 it reached 137 or so. Sort of off topic but it just seems like it should be louder, during the playoffs everyone is going nuts.

I think EARBUD style headphones are probably worse than most things mentioned in this thread.

I go to a lot of concerts, quite often very close, and I always have earplugs with me.

But a hockey game? I suppose it is possible, but I have never come out of there with my head ringing like I have at some shows.

Edit: And by earplugs, I don't use the "marshmallow" ones, which make it sound like ass. I prefer Etymotic ones and I find that the sound is actually better with them in than without. And many orders of magnitude better than those big fatties.

Somewhere 'knitting at the Saddledome' lady is smiling.

The Saddledome music is far too loud I think. Its not so much the crowd, its in between the whistles being blasted with Nickleback. Ugh awful.

I thought hockey sound waves were more pure than other sounds? And thus not noise? Bah, thanks for nothing science.

I believe it. There are times at the Dome when the noise can get very ear shattering. When I got home from the home opener this season my ears where ringing like I had been at a concert.
