Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exposure to sounds over 85 dB can cause hearing damage, and listening to such loud sounds for about 8 hours straight can cause significant hearing impairment. Therefore, option C (85 dB; 8 hours) is the best choice. Options A and B (65 dB) are not loud enough to cause hearing damage, and option D (85 dB; 12 hours) is a longer duration of exposure that can cause even more severe hearing impairment.
