    Does the concussion wave itself that hits you with a side and rear facing muzzle brake damage your hearing? I’m wearing double hearing protection with my brake but I often get ringing that evening

    Are your ear muffs rated class 5?

    The hearing aids I wear, help control my Tinnitus, they can tune it out. Didnt wear them this weekend and needed them by the time I got home, screaming grand kids all weekend, I can tune them out as well.

    My ears also ring non stop (age 29), from not wearing hearing protection when younger while shooting and also loud rock/metal concerts. Have to say i wish i had worn ear plugs as it drives me crazy. And also can not hear high pitch noise and any loud noises at work like dropping steel on concrete etc makes me cringe. Wear hearing protection trust me!!

    Not so much barrel length, but making sure your load has burnt ALL the powder before the end of the barrel. I had a couple of Mosin Nagants, a Polish Carbine (20") and a 26" 91/30. With factory ammo the flash and bang out the front of the Polish carbine was amazing...but the extra 6 inches of barel on the 91/30 meant that it was more like a 303 with no flash and a much reduced noise as all the powder was burnt in the barrel. By using a faster burning powder I was able to get the most out of a similar rifle with an 18 inch barrel that uses all the powder and keeps the Bang to a minimum.

    barrel length is still a big deal. Muzzle pressure, which also contributes to the bang, will still be higher in a shorter barrel all else being equal. For example in a 22LR you get complete burn of the tiny 1-2 grain powder charge before 16", but barrels at 20, 22" and 24" still sound quieter the longer they are.

    Also 357 lever guns, you load a fast burner its almost top speed in 16-18" barrel. But big difference between 16", 20, 24" noise wise
