Alarm Clock Damage

For some reason I set my alarm clock this morning and it went off this morning.

Now my ears feel full and my tinnitus has gotten louder. The alarm went off for only 3 seconds, so I was wondering if this could have caused permanent damage.

It couldn't have been more than 80 decibels right?

 

Unless this clock uses explosives to wake you up - you're fine

 

I think the shock of the sound, probably gave you a spike. Stress, anxiety and even excitement can bring on a spike. Hope you feel better

 

I actually have a simular thing or alarm clock damage but only in one ear . I had my alarm clock set to presto on my ipad and had it on the loudest setting on 2 days ago and it was on the pillo next to my head but not too close but i guess i must of rolled when i was sleeping amd it ended like half a foot away from me and at first i kept hearing the presto alarm like really loumd but now its faded ots waay kore quiet bit is this permanet or what cani do to help decrease or stop the sound. Its only in my right ear

 

It's not likely to have done any damage. I would be worried if I had an alarm clock like this guy on youtube.
This actually made me smile. Some crazy people out there.

World's Loudest Alarm Clock!

 

Its faded . I can still hear it at night if i try but its much quieter than before . Does that mean its more likely to go away ?

 

I am pretty sure (based on the experiences I read about on this forum) that if it faded in less than a month, eventually you will stop hearing it.
