Explain how sound waves with a large amplitude can damage the human ear?

Sound waves with a large amplitude can damage the human ear by causing the delicate structures in the inner ear to vibrate too forcefully. This can lead to damage to the hair cells in the cochlea, which are responsible for converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sound. Prolonged exposure to high-amplitude sound waves can result in hearing loss and other forms of auditory damage.
