Can a dog bark damage an ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Dog barks generally are not a high decibel volume, even when near your ear. I can imagine a situation where a dog repeatedly barks in close proximity day after day but this seems rather unlikely. So dog barking is annoying but not harmful.
