For reference purposes (from ASHA.ORG)

Painful

    150 dB = rock music peak
    140 dB = firearms, air raid siren, jet engine
    130 dB = jackhammer
    120 dB = jet plane take-off, amplified rock music at 4-6 ft., car
stereo, band practice

Extremely Loud

    110 dB = rock music, model airplane
    106 dB = timpani and bass drum rolls
    100 dB = snowmobile, chain saw, pneumatic drill
    90 dB = lawnmower, shop tools, truck traffic, subway


===================

I know that having a gun shot blast going right into your ear from less than 
10 feet away will cause you to lose nearly 100% of your hearing only to be 
replaced by a never-ending ringing.  At least it hasn't ended in 26 years so 
far.

Peter C. has to have me remind him which ear I can't hear out of so that he 
can sit on the other side and not have to repeat everything he says a couple 
times.   ;-)
