Ringing in my ear—anyone else?

I held the handset right up to my ear just as the phone rang, and the volume was loud enough to give me a sharp jolt of pressure. Now, I’m dealing with this lingering discomfort in my ear. Is it possible I actually caused some damage, or will this sensation just pass on its own? Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Thanks..

It will most likely go through, though there might be a definite period of waiting involved.
I actually had a band playing right next to me quite some time ago, with one musician positioned almost directly against my ear. While the music was wonderful in the moment, I ended up with this persistent ringing in my ear for several days afterward, which was certainly not an enjoyable sensation.

Thanks 🙂
