A member asked:

Can driving through a lot of train tunnels in some conditions damage the ears chronically?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Driving through a train tunnel is a fatally bad idea because one will get hit by the train. Aside from that, the noise level should not be high enough nor prolonged enough to cause hearing damage.
