Headphone volume

There was an article in The i on Monday about an epidemic of tinnitus. It links it to prolonged headphone use at high volume. Over 85dB for long periods is bad. It suggests using maybe 60% of full volume on your device to avoid this. I tried my dB app on my headphones. Not sure how good the reading is but it is mostly in the 60s.
