Temporary hearing loss can occur with exposure to sounds at levels of 85 decibels (dB) or higher, especially with prolonged exposure. While some individuals may experience temporary changes in hearing with sounds as low as 75 dB, the more widely accepted threshold for the risk of temporary hearing loss is 85 dB. Therefore, the answer is **85 or more**.
