[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 575047, member: 5219"] Yes I was serious about the hearing loss. I have a 300 RUM with a VAIS brake. I also have tinnitus from my youth. I worked around all sorts of noisy equipment in the 60s when we knew nothing about noise causing hearing issues. It didn't take me long to realize that moist toilet paper was about as good as we could get, better than cotton anyway. I figured I was safe from any issues when using that VAIS brake on the 300 RUM at the range with good plugs and muffs. After a brief session of maybe 10 rounds I'd went home and noticed my ringing in the ears was amplified quite a bit. What caused it? That brake, I never had that amplification after a range session with unbraked rifles. Maybe having tinnitus where louder than normal noises set it to ringing louder isn't a sign or hearing loss potential. In my opinion that type of symptom tells me the noise level WAS too loud would cause hearing loss. I am certain that everyone these days realizes hearing loss is a progressive thing. As I said before my opinion. [/QUOTE]
