So, I was at a 2 hour event last night. Had "32" ear plugs, mostly insert correctly. My dB app had an average of 90-94 (some 96) Now my anxiety and Phonophobia have hit me hard this morning causing a spike.

Learning 32 means a drop of only about 20, if inserted absolute correctly, which I know they were not absolute.

Any knowledge of the accuracy of the app & thoughts on any damage at these levels for this amount of time?

Thanks in advance,
Just another person trying to make sense of it all

You wouldn't have suffered damage even without earplugs, with earplugs you were totally protected.
