A member asked:
My son screamed in my ear two days ago. i can hear out of that ear, but it still hurts. did i do damage to my eardrum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A one time very loud scream directly into the ear can damage hair cells in the ear. The ear drum may also be affected. However the prognosis for recovery of these damaged cells & ear drum in time is very good. If you still have concerns, consult an ENT specialist.
