    I shot the 300wsm without the ear muffs once and it had me hearing ringing for a lonnnnngggg time. was complete mute for a couple mins. (has brake) anyway I had my hearing test the other day as usual with chemo as it can effect hearing and mine normally looks like this.

    As I understand it there is basically two typs of damage, constant noise ie grinder machinery concert, which your ears can protect themselves from for about an hour then damage is slowly but surly occurring.
    and the other, sudden noise which your ears cannot protect themselves from, explosions sledge hammers etc.

    It never ceases to amaze me how much my hearing improves if I can get away from it all,same for my sense of smell.
    Sensory overload living in disturbia.

    I appreciate that. I will PM for your phone number
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
