No. You'd have to be exposed to 90 dB continuously for at least 2 hours for it to damage your hearing. That's about the normal loudness of a gasoline push mower. A jackhammer is around 120 to 125 dB, significantly louder than his exhaust.
Furthermore, unless I misunderstood, he wasn't driving around with 90+ dB exhaust. He had it tested
without the baffles to get those numbers. The cop ticketed him for running it with the baffles, at a much lower sound level.
The cop was wrong.
