And I agree, it's sometimes impossible to discern the lyrics because of the volume, although the ear plugs help a bit.

I find that there are excessive db levels at almost every event that includes music in TV and in fact almost everywhere now. My wife and I uusually leave events (club dinners etc ) when the music starts. We both can hear reasonably well at 78yrs but don't want to risk damage at these db levels. Our rule is -if you cant carry on a conversation level at the table , then music is too loud. Our we go. When the piccolo player has an amplifier bigger than a base drum , you know that you are in trouble.
