Question

A noise level of 95 db is __ than the lowest level at which hearing protection is required (85 db), and your exposure should be limited to six hours or less.

Answer 1

higher

95 dB is the value of noise intensity at which it is mandatory to wear ear protection by health and safety standards. Moreover, exposure to such levels of noise should not be for more than 6 hours per day. This limit is imposed due to the fact that high levels of noise can cause problems such as hypertension and progressive hearing loss.
