I was taught that long time exposure to high decimal sounds will kill the hairs in your ear perminantly harming your hearing, but is the high sounds cummulative after each time?

Question

Like if I use a saw of 100Db for 10 seconds, then go do something, then go use teh saw for another 10 seconds, have I used 20 seconds out of teh 30 minutes to casue permanet damage, or did it renew, or get weaker, or what?

Answer 1

High decibel sounds damage your hearing the longer and louder the more damage is potentially done.
