What happens if someone screams really loudly into your ears? can i go deaf?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loud noises: Hello, excessive loud noises like that of a human scream could cause a noise induced sensory neural hearing loss. It would be rare for you to go completely deaf from this solo event but the hearing loss you may have sustained may not recover. And actually seed a slow deterioration of your hearing. See your ENT and avoid any more loud noises without protection.
