Thread: Hearing

I've always had very sensitive hearing (ask my sister-in-law ) so have always taken good care of it and there has always been a supply of ear muffs/plugs around as I've always made sure I had them on hand. I can't hear in pubs and the likes either as the whole system gets overloaded. When things are quiet I come into my own. Also a bit like a dog; I can always hear the boss's van coming. Pretty much all of my rifles (rimfire and centrefire) are suppressed and I still tend to wear electronic ear muffs too.

Really wanted to protect my hearing to hear the kids (that I'm way too young for being only 21 and a bit), with that all important bit where they say "dad" well before they say "mum". I have ear muffs for all the kids too for when working around machinery when visiting the farm. Though I do have one little loud luxury that I've allowed myself to indulge in on a couple of occasions; I just love the scurl of the pipes.

I don't strangle them personally as I have the musical ability of a pile of compost but I do like to listen. Have worked with a lot of workshop equipment and always take good care and of resent have brought that to this new to me shooting thing.
