I thought that only Marines did that?Don't do it! He'll snatch 'em from you and eat 'em in front of you!
Ours do, too. So I'm told. Including the package they come in.

It's kinda like hunting and doing a quick shot, your adrenaline is up and somehow your body takes over the protection. Sounds a little out there but I never have a ringing in my ears when taking a random adrenaline shot like at a critter that suddenly tries to attack or even an odd dog attacking but usually those are just a shot into the ground to ward them off.Thank you everyone!. It sounds like I am not alone in this hearing loss issue. at age 46 now, I am not going to even mess with more loss. I ordered electronic/shooting muffs last night. I am not sure how many here are LEO, but how do cops go through discharges while on duty and not suffer ruptured ear drums?. It is not like they have time to put on "ears" when they are in a life or death situation. ?.
The one requesting it earlier in crayon writing is a former marine…. right @1775usmc ?I thought that only Marines did that?

Correct. Marines LOVE crayons! We can color with them, Write with them and the best part….. EAT them! Green is better flavor.The one requesting it earlier in crayon writing is a former marine…. right @1775usmc ?
I recently lost 100% in my left ear due to a viral infection and already had profound hearing loss in both ears. With the hearing aid out I can't hear anything, with it in It's extremely difficult. Lost all balance for a few months but that's slowly resolving, going on 4 months now. At first they put me on a high dose of steroids and after that didn't help they started injecting my middle ear with steroids, nothing worked.I have had a hearing compression problem my whole life but the brunt of the hearing loss came in 95. I lost 90% of my left ear comprehension and 60% in the right from a viral infection (they say). Anyone have equilibrium problems with loud noises? I do. Not fun trying to sleep with jet engines in your ears.
Agreed it makes communication difficult especially now that all the health care workers all wear masks and refuse to take them down so I can read their lips and facial movements to comprehend what they're saying.Thanks for the note, my right ear has loss due to an infection also. Hearing loss sucks to deal with. Especially when it affects doing fun things like shooting.
Same here, the first healthcare contact wanted to treat it as swimmers ear!I recently lost 100% in my left ear due to a viral infection and already had profound hearing loss in both ears.

Same here and if I tell them I'm hearing impaired they start shouting which makes it worseSame here, the first healthcare contact wanted to treat it as swimmers ear!
Those steroids never helped me either, they just made me an ornary caveman for two weeks.
See my above post on trying to read lips through a mask.
I know right. They go from low to annoyingly loud once told we're HOH.Same here and if I tell them I'm hearing impaired they start shouting which makes it worse
Not sure about with ear pro. I'll tell you one thing tho i grew up shooting with my grandfather no hearing pro. I play loud music in my vehicles. I ride 4 wheelers often. It wasn't until about 10 years ago that I started wearing ear pro.New member here, long time shooter though. Years of Dirt bikes, jetskis and shooting has taken a toll on hearing. I wear hearing protection, but curious if any of you have had further hearing loss while still wearing plugs/muffs etc. Tips, tricks appreciated. Anyone else ever had a ruptured ear drum from shooting?.
Cheers!.

I discovered how comfortable various ear protection could be, so long ago due to range exposure I began using muffs at home running various power equipment. Over the decades I've experienced a few brief episodes of what must be tinnitus, for a few long seconds to a couple minutes. Enough to appreciate how cheap good muffs can be. At matches I would use foam puffies under the muffs. I think it saved my hearing. I'm on my third trial set of electronic ears. Haven't found any I actually like better than the best red/black non battery models.Tips, tricks appreciated.
I've noticed that the specs for amplified earmuffs usually have them at a few DB weaker than the average non-amplified. That's one of the reasons I double up when shooting rifles.I had one set of the electronic hearing protectors. I liked them but never felt they screened out as much sound as straight, non-electronic types. Maybe because they weren't the most expensive money could buy. They were not water proof and failed. So now I'm back to 3M.
I have tinnitus and hearing loss. I was encouraged to submit a disability claim to the VA for these issues. The several hearing tests that I'd taken in the Army over the years were reviewed and they showed progressive hearing loss. As a result they equipped me with hearing aids. I'm on my second set now, rechargables.
I won't even run a lawnmower without hearing protection now.
