[QUOTE="CRNA, post: 576359, member: 22495"] I understand completely the tinnitis issue. My ears ring constantly. They have since I was young. I was told at age 12 I have significant hearing loss. Is it from sound? Hereditary? Who knows. Both grandfathers and my dad can't hear it thunder. Maybe bad genes, who can tell. I don't doubt that shooting anything without protection is bad. Even a short barreled .22 LR pistol is too much for me. I wear plugs every time I shoot, except for when I hunt. My plan is if I put a brake on the gun to use it for target shooting. When hunting season rolls around I could just take the brake off to make it a little less damaging. I didn't mean any disrespect when I asked if you were serious. I just can't conceive that any gun could be loud enough to harm the shooter's ears if proper protection was worn. I would venture a guess and say that most of the guys on here have brakes on their long range rigs. [/QUOTE]
