From what I understand, the earliest detection can happen is +10 dB. Then, the enemy can hold contact on you down to 0 dB.

Yes, +10 dB is always true as this value is relative to the environment. Basically, whatever the dB of the environment, you have to be close enough to the enemy to be +10 dB louder than the environment to be detected. In noisier environments, units generally have to be closer together to detect each other.
