How damaging is it to scream in someone's ear?

[Z064life]

I tend to be in places where people have to tlak very loudly (often with elderly, at home). A couple of times quite infrequently, people have screamed in my ears, leaving it feeling funny.


Can this be damaging?

[sinizter]

Yes. Repeated exposure to very loud sounds can permanently damage hearing.

As to how loud or how much damage a shout might do ... YMMV.

Especially if you give them a slap for doing it
