Why do soft sounds do less damage to your ears than loud sounds

Answer:

"The damage done by noise depends mainly on how loud it is and on the length of exposure. The frequency or pitch can also have some effect, since high-pitched sounds are more damaging than low-pitched sounds. Noise may tire out the inner ear, causing temporary hearing loss."

Well loud sounds tend to hurt the ear drum and can cause hearing issues because of how strong the vibration is and soft sounds don’t have a strong vibration which means it doesn’t have any effect on the ear drum
