Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brief exposure to sounds of at least 150 decibels can produce permanent hearing loss due to the immediate and intense damage it can cause to the structures within the ear. Daily exposure to 60 decibels, typical of a normal conversation, is not harmful, and prolonged exposure to high frequency sounds can be damaging depending on their intensity, not regardless of it.
