As mentioned in the comments, there's no way the sound on the line would be strong enough to damage your hearing, so the judge has been conned.

It depends, if she already had poor hearing it could contribute to it, plus we don't know what systems were involved, landline to landline would allow much higher levels of sound. It's one of those where I couldn't judge without more information than the article gives.

I seriously doubt that ot would have damaged here hearing to the extent claimed.
