Is listening daily at an average of 85db safe?


For a few hours a day I listen at an average of 85dbc. (Yes that's dbc, c weighted, not a weighted) A weighted average is about 78. All information on hearing loss I can find online is always measured in Dba, not dbc. Does this mean I can actually listen louder without the risk of damage or no? Are bass sounds less damaging? Is it safe for me to be listening daily at these levels?

6 1/2 feet from the speakers, non-fatiguing, room is fully treated. I can't tell you if my ears ring or not because I already have slight tinnitus from many loud concerts without earplugs. (finally wised up and got some though)
