Can Loud Barking Of Dogs Damage Eardrums Of New Born Babies?

My daughter has two boxers that bark very loudly. I am concerned that when she brings her new babies home from the hospital, that the loud barking may damage the babies eardrums or cause hearing issues. I know the loud barking will definitely startle them , but could it also harm them?
