Guy on "esports" forum claims a teammate ruptured his eardrump by screaming, decides to post about it

https://play.esea.net/forums/1332299

Here's the situation, this kid thought it would be a good idea to put his webcam mic at the highest fricking volume possible and then steam call me and scream in his webcam mic. little did he know in this instant he would brake my left eardrum and damaged my right one. I had to go through the worst pain I've ever been through in my life going to the hospital and trying to find an ENT doctor to look at my ears. My left ear has been bleeding for 2 days now and I can't play my league match because obviously my eardrum is broken. This trucklover86 guy then proceeds to kick me off the team and out of the team groomercord so that I wouldn't be able to share my story with the rest of the team. He has been spiteful and disgusting about this whole thing and I want everyone to know how toxic and stupid this kid is. please share. bums are really appreciated.

Gets the local NA CSGO news site to write about it

One intrepid redditor thinks it's real

As someone who currently owns a pair of Cloud 2s, I can completely believe that a person screaming down a microphone could cause this type of ear damage. The volume levels on this headset are seriously fricking insane. HyperX can say what they like about "maximum sound pressure levels" - but in my experience, anything above 30% volume is nearly unbearable. Even at 20%, I sometimes have to turn down the volume of Youtube videos because they're obnoxiously loud. Perhaps it's the case that a small percentage of these products are defective, or maybe some people (including me) have bad firmware, but yeah - I can absolutely see this happening.

It's just so loud bro, it can totally happen!
