[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1527785, member: 99718"] I worked in a loud steel mill for 43 years and my hearing is bad, then about 6 years ago around this time of year, just before Christmas I was setting on my chair watching TV and my left ear got like it does in an elevation change I tried yawning but noting helped I had lost my hearing 99% in that ear! I had a lot of loss prior also in my right ear, I bought a break for a 300 win. Mag. and when I shot it the first time it about knocked me over, my hearing aid for my right ear was supposed to limit the level of noise but it was too much and I ended up with ringing ears for a week or more and a very noticeable increase in my hearing loss in my right ear ! My left was already shot now my right was very, very bad! I had to get another hearing aid but I still have trouble understanding what people are saying and my favorite music and songs no longer sound the same ! Many times the songs that I love are nearly over before I even know what song is playing ! Yes you are right ! Brakes can hurt your ears, to anyone that has one or is getting one, make sure that you and all around you have hearing protection on before shooting a gun that has a break on it ! I even double up on the protection now because my next step would be learning sign language ! Guys take heed ! It isn't any fun, many times I hear a plane fling over and it comes and goes without me ever seeing it ! I can only hear some out of my right ear and I can't tell what direction it is coming from ! Turkey hunting is a real nightmare, I keep scooting around a tree trying to decide in what direction the turkey is answering in ! Too late for me, but I don't want to loose the little bit that I have left ! But for you, always wear hearing protection ! [/QUOTE]
