Which detail from the passage best supports the author's assertion that listening to loud music can create hearing loss?



I've listened to countless hours of music - vibrant music pouring into my ears from MP3 players, washing over me from car speakers, or blasting at me from gigantic speakers at concerts.


Experts say that noise-induced hearing loss can happen from hearing a very loud sound (120 decibels or higher) once, or from hearing a sound at 85 decibels or higher for an extended period of time.


Because of the hearing loss, I can't make out certain sounds, and that sometimes makes it hard for me to understand what is being said.


Or you may say, "But, Julia, it's only 12.5% of all kids who have hearing problems due to excessively loud noise. This means that plenty of kids listen to loud music without any bad consequences."

Experts say that noise-induced hearing loss can happen from hearing a very loud sound (120 decibels or higher) once, or from hearing a sound at 85 decibels or higher for an extended period of time, best supports the author's assertion that listening to loud music can create a hearing loss.

As in the above statement, the author asserts its point by quoting from an expert. Also, the above statement states the specified details about how it can cause hearing loss if hearing a sound at 120 decibels or 85 decibels. Thus, such information gives precise details about the cause and thus makes clear as compared to the other sentences. The others sentences assert an experience and not the cause and effect.
