[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3838658, member: 5412"] Now that I’ve read the replies, those that don’t hear the shot when shooting at a deer or LEO in a gunfight are experiencing a symptom called auditory exclusion. Stress levels turn the brain part of hearing off but hearing damage continues with every shot. Your born with millions more nerve endings in your ears than one should ever require but loud noises kill those endings. Eventually, one reaches the level of dead nerves where hearing loss occurs. The more nerves you kill from that point, the worse your hearing becomes until requiring hearing aids or total deafness occurs. Suppressors can bring noise levels with any supersonic round down to almost muff free levels but I still wear muffs at the range if doing sustained shooting. Folks need to pay attention to what level of noise attenuation ear plugs and muffs provide. Some will not block out enough noise to prevent hearing ddd as mage even if worn. There is a huge class action lawsuit ongoing against the Army because they purchased hearing protection from the lowest bidder that did not protect soldiers hearing as an example. I still recommend buying a suppressor that can be used across platforms. [/QUOTE]
