**There is currently no legislation directly protecting music lovers from the danger that loud music poses to their hearing. It is extremely important that you take responsibility for your own ears and always wear earplugs.**
There is some legislation that affects how loud music can be:
Control of Noise at Work regulations 2005 - this makes it the responsibility of the employer to protect their staff’s hearing if they are exposed to loud noise, such as music in a bar.
Environmental noise regulations
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
