All good suggestions!  ;~>

I googled around a little the other day concerning ear protection used
by the Navy on aircraft carrier decks.
One of the Navy articles said that these guys can lose up to 65% of
their hearing!
Upper deck volume can exceed 150dB
Supposedly normal conversation volume is typically measured at around
30dB.

My wife must have the TV up at around 50!!  

Some times I wish I was like Data on Star Trek  ( turn it off!! )  :)
