No judgement but I made a big mistake. I got free tickets for concert and went in with my baby 8 months. I didn’t plan it just happened. He was asleep in pram no ear muff. 3 hours . He woke for last 1 hour. Found out noise level was 100db . He seems fine but sometimes I feel he not responding no to quiet noises. II now worried I have caused noises induce hearing loss and affected his hearing for the future. Any advice etc.

Exposing your ears to 100dB for 3 hours can cause significant hearing damage. The general rule is that exposure to 100dB should be limited to around 15 minutes to avoid hearing damage. Prolonged exposure to such a high decibel level, especially without hearing protection, can lead to temporary or permanent hearing loss.

Try not to worry, hope your wee boy is ok. :pray:

Would I see this in the hearing test?

How long past did you attend the concert? Maybe you should give it a little time before you have your son’s hearing tested. You could be over worrying into thinking he is not responding to quiet sounds.
