Everyone that has ever fired a gun or rifle knows how unpleasant that loud noise next to their ear(s) can be. It is the same for all shooters, hunters and other people that are often exposed to the loud noise of firearms being fired around them.
People that spend time around noisy machines in factories, or where jets take off, or those that have to listen to loud music in clubs al night, such as DJs, are often exposed to the dangers of hearing loss or heavy impairment, as the human ear was simply not designed for constant hammering by unnaturally loud noise caused by the mentioned machines and other instances.
Every shooter, either at the shooting range, or out in the bush, knows what the immediate effect on their ears can be when shots are fired around them. Momentary deafness, even for only a few seconds, ringing in the ears and similar experiences are possibilities. Of course many are lucky that this lasts for only a short while before they proceed as before u2013 even if they may not be aware that some kind of damage to their hearing has been done.
Ear plugs for hunters and shooters, and for other individuals and groups that are exposed to the dangers and effects of constant high noise levels, are not necessarily new, except that the market now offers much improved products over those of a few decades ago.
Hunters and shooters are aware of the dangers they expose their ears to every time they fire a gun or rifle, or listen to one close to them as their friends do so, and if they are not aware of this, they should make an effort to find out more about the issue.
