I have this neighbor who owns a train horn canister and I had my iPhone decibel reader app and my neighbor blew the train horn from outside.

It read somewhere between 70-85 dB range on my iPhone app, but the noise irritated the hell out of me as I was inside, this was last Tuesday and Wednesday, I feel like my hearing got damaged because the next day my right ear went out and was ringing out of nowhere, and returned back to normal, but I feel like my hearing has been reduced a little bit, even when I try to talk the volume of my voice has been lowered a bit.

It's been almost a week since this incident happened. Is this hearing damage temporary or permanent?

If it's permanent, can I sue my neighbor? Or do I need to see a doctor?
 
Could it be that you have been experiencing a "full ear sensation"? If this is the case, it is most likely temporary.
