Question

if a sound is very, very loud, how long can you hear this sound without hearing loss? a short time a long time

Explanation:

Loud sounds have high intensity (measured in decibels). The louder a sound, the shorter the time exposure before it causes hearing damage, as the ear's hair cells (which detect sound) can be damaged by excessive sound energy. So very loud sounds can only be tolerated for a short time without hearing loss.

Answer:

A. A short time
