A member asked:

What happens if someone screams really loudly into your ears? will i lose my hearing?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Unlikley: They would have to scream really loudly for a really long time.... Run away... Very unlikely that you would develop any hearing loss with yelling.

Could be: Loud enough noise can damage the hearing mechanism without question.
