I bought a small air horn to use inside my house in the event of a break-in.

These horns are sold as personal safety devices, to scare off dogs and bears, and all have volumes of 110-120. Air horns are used at indoor sporting events (basketball and Olympic swimming, for ex.)

My Googling has found nothing on using an air horn (110-120 dB) inside the house. CDC says that dB of 85 or higher can cause permanent hearing damage, but doesn't specify if that pertains to sustained noise or a one-time blast.

Are air horns safe to use inside a small house? Any other reason I shouldn't use an air horn for personal safety indoors?
