CBC News Headline:
Edmonton Oilers playoff hockey games caused temporary hearing loss: study
After measuring sound levels once every second at three games during the final series between the Oilers and the Carolina Hurricanes, [a scientist] determined just how insane those noise levels were - and what kind of hearing damage the racket could cause unwitting fans.
During the third game of the series, fans reached their maximum daily noise allowance in less than six minutes and they absorbed about 8,100 per cent of the top dose over the course of the game.
Are there any studies from people who weren't at the games but would run outside at 5am screaming up and down the streets of London?

No problem for sending the article. It actually really made me laugh. I could totally understand. I mean I only had to cope with three Edmontonians during the playoffs and that almost damaged my hearing!
Gotta love the CBC!
