We should also limit stoves to 20 degrees in case someone touches it, it's the same thing. Initially there was just the silly "EU warning" that meant after X (supposed, because not all equipment is made equal) decibels, it would not go higher unless you actively confirmed you would be exceeding said limit, however that has made way by just reducing output all the time - not everyone is happy with cheap crap, some of us have higher quality equipment that needs the power and clarity, whereas muggles are happy with what sounds like a brick in a washing machine. If you can't judge what a safe volume is without experiencing discomfort or ringing afterwards, you've probably got bigger risks. It also ignores that with age, hearing naturally reduces in both fidelity and perceived volume, so what are the rest of us supposed to do?
