[QUOTE="joe0121, post: 575023, member: 26058"] I've been in the Military, Marine Corps. And during my service I served on a Machine gun team, and gunner in Iraq. All I ever wore was the cheapo foam ear plugs. Sometimes none at all if I was on the radio. I ran the M2 and 240G and have some hearing loss obviously. I have also been on several helo's and c130 without ear plugs. So I know a thing or two about hearing loss as a result of fire arms. i've used everything from MRE toilette paper to cigarette buts (gross i know but better than being deaf at 21) in a pinch If you wear a set of gel style ear plugs [URL]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044DEESS/?tag=lrhmag19-20[/URL] and decent ear muffs: [URL]http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001T7QJ9O/?tag=lrhmag19-20[/URL]" I couldn't see any civilian small arm giving you issue with hearing loss. For hunting if you have the coin they make what amount to a hearing aid, it amplifies certain sounds and if a noise above a certain level say 80DB it blocks it. Really spendy but i wish I had known about it when I was in Iraq. From what I understand a lot of spec ops units have them now. [URL='http://www.earplugstore.com/in-ear-hunting-hearing-aids.html']In-Ear Hunting Hearing Aids - Speech Enhancement[/URL] To say putting a break on a weapon will result in hearing loss even with quality hearing protection is preposterous at best.
