Well it seems after two hearing tests I have extensive hearing loss on high pitched frequencies in both ears especially acute in my right ear. According to the Doc, he looks at me and say's, ''After studying your hearing test my guess is you have done alot of shooting in your life and are probably right handed''. I just looked at the guy and said are Physic are something, and laughed. He said no I've just looked at a bunch of these and your hearing loss is a dead ringer for loud popping noises such as gunfire. I told him his was good at his game.
Wear the hearing protection guys, It's very important to save those ears. Now with severe Tinnutis,(Ringing in the ears), I will never shoot without plugs again.
Of course standing in front of stacks of Peavy Amps at rock concerts all through the 70's and early 80's probably didn't help alot either, lol.
