    If you haven't felt sharp pain in your ears then it won't. In other words - unpleasant, but not damaging. I've been in this kind of situation lots of times. Nothing bad happened.

    No pain after it. But it was so loud that i felt my left ear vibrating. I was stressing so much after the incident. And did a new hearing test today. Results are the same. But I am still a bit stressed as clntinued exposures to unexpected loud sounds like this can harm me in the long run

    Don't be afraid @Martinf . The sound from a car horn (mostly between 85 and 100 db) is generally damaging to your hearing if you're exposed to it for more than a couple of minutes. Like many on TT, I almost have this situation on a day-by-day basis, and so far it hasn't done anything to my ears.

    It was a kia picanto car and I was just passing infront of it I just hope it is the stock horn and not a custom one. If it is stock horn it shouldnt be more than 107db at 1m distance

    Oef, a Kia Picanto? the only thing I should worry about this car is that it is more sore to the eyes than to your ears;)

    Thanks dude. I think it is just my perceived loudness is not normal due to my hyperacusis. I should learn how to relax and not stress too much. All my T spikes actually are from stress.
