The Noise-Dose Calculator is provided for informational purposes only and is intended to encourage mindful listening in loud music venues. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
The calculations are based on World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations and assume that users’ exposure to other sources of leisure noise remains within normal limits. Individual noise sensitivity and hearing health vary. Those with existing hearing conditions, including tinnitus or hearing loss, might require additional protection and should consult a qualified healthcare professional for personalised advice.
