What are the typical SPL's guys run today. Years ago, I liked the stage volume to stay under 100, and the FOH around 103-108 at the console. Of course what I liked, and what usually happened were two different things. The FOH normally stayed below 112, but sometimes stage volume might shoot up to over 118, and in some smaller venues without the PA, we might hit over 122 if we got a reallly loud guitar guy. Needless to say, I wore earplugs most of the time.

Today, I can't hear all that great. Rather than music though, it was loud airplane engines that did me in. Otoh, with the profliferation of MP3 players and earbuds, the younger generation may be in a whole lot more hurt than I am when it comes to hearing loss.

Any thoughts
