      I don’t want premature ear aging
      Bc that I won’t touch shotguns

      I was once next to a 120mm smoothbore with a loose ear plug when it fired. I still hear ringing to this day.

      Spooky

            WHAT YALL SAY NIGGUH WHAT SPEAK UP OVER HERE

            shotguns are statistically the most quiet firearms out there, damaging your hearing with one is almost impossible

        I've fired a shotgun with just those little foam plugs. No problems. You probably don't need any more unless you're going to get a lot of range time.

    CCI .22LR quiets through a suppressor. It is like someone next to you snapping their fingers. Spread can be an issue at long ranges, but excellent for plinking.

    I've got really slight tinnitus from my shitty manual labor jobs. I do everything I can now to avoid making it worse. Indoor range I double up, outdoor I'm putting earpro on in the car in case somebody else is shooting.

    Broccoli is supposedly good for the ears and hearing. It is supposed to help lessen the tinnitus ringing, if eaten soon after being exposed to damaging db levels.

      you could take magnesium, vitamin d and omega 3 as a supplement after exposure too, it apparently can help
      long term supplementing those might not be a bad idea too

    I'm nearly 30 and been shooting for maybe 3 years with proper ear pro, sometimes even doubled up,and my hearing definitely took a hit. No tinnitus thankfully. Wear your earpro lads or you'll be deaf!

    Slight low frequency loss in left ear, I double up every time. Foamies under Leigh's with the aftermarket gel ear pieces. To some degree it doesn't matter, because your skull conducts the vibration and nothing short of a full head helmet is going to actually stop that.
    I've got 3 suppressors in the works.

    My hearing probably isn't the best for my age because I was a fricking dumbass when I was younger, but it's not all that bad. I figure I should just be careful to preserve it from now on.
    Anyway, these are what I use. Generally you probably only need one of them if you're shooting a handgun or arguably smaller pistol calibers like that (PCCs, maybe some leverguns and carbines). Double up when shooting rifles and other larger guns, or if you have a brake on anything. Although if you're only shooting outdoors, one of them might still be ok for whatever you're doing. The sound won't reverberate off walls or anything to really frick your ears, it'll keep going out and away from you.
    It's been so long that I don't remember where I got my muffs from but they're nothing too special, you should be able to find them anywhere. The plugs I got as a small gift from my RO, said I should keep some reusable plugs since I come in as often as I do. They're way better than the foam ones, much easier to get in and out, no bullshit with squishing them and rolling them up just to not get one all the way in there in time. No idea where to get these from, forgot where I put the box they came in. I guess just go to your usual range and maybe if your RO is based he'll give you some or tell you where to find them.

    Double up if you're going to an indoor range, active ears are very nice and would of the first upgrades I'd recommend to anyone serious about shooting. Allowing you to amplify normal sounds while muffling loud ones is the breasts when combined with ear plugs. You pretty much end up with twice the protection while still being able to hear most things ok. Also you can hang them off your HD long gun and throw them on in 2 seconds flat if you feel the need to grab the thing at some point.

    I got complacent and only wore muffs at a gas gun event. The eeeee was already there, but it's a bit more pronounced now. newbies, listen me out and hear me good. Never get loosy goosy with your ears. Be doubled up at all times, if there's a 1% chance of a gun going off even 100 yards away, have your ears on.

    I've got 85% hearing in my right ear, my left ear is basically fine though. I will sometimes have random sessions of a hard ringing in both ears, they last about 45 seconds to a minute, and peak about 15 seconds in. I'm fine otherwise. Honestly, I think it's mostly from fireworks and various dumb shit rather than firearms, as I wear earpro the vast vast majority of the time (other than some .22 rifle squirrel shooting when I was younger)

    >using reddit ear

    Its not enough that you people got indoctrinated into using "trigger discipline" aka reddit finger when handling your funs, now you're trying to shill reddit ear too?

    This is a glowop to try to take away your freedom. There is nothing more free and liberating than experiencing the crack of a gunshot and the liberals want to take that away from you too

      shooting without ear pro is like smoking cigarettes
      it's self destructive, devoid of higher purpose, makes you look cooler, is the sort of thing a redditor would hate, and is to be done inside as a special occasion
      I vape and use surefire plugs

    I think as long as you're firing rifles outside it's fine, I usually hunt without earpro and my ears are fine. I use those walker headphones with the mic at the range.
