You see, there is no definitive answer. But I would rate it like the exposure film that you wear on your chest in the nuclear lab to tell you when you have been overdosed. Your answers to the questions above would help determine if you are in trouble or not. The higher the SPL and the more continuous it is, the shorter your exposure should be. If your ears are fatigued after an hour, then you are in trouble already.

hi Bob,
I do have alot of breaks a day ( i f not i take a break every 45mintues ). I normally hear not loud as i`ve already written on the other post. Only for a check I take it little bit louder to ~80db, mixing dynamic music. So my question is , is the SPL dependently to the distance to the monitors ? I don`t feel fatiqued hearing over a time of 45minutes and more.
thanks
