Good thing Uncle Sam has your back by preventing you from putting a muffler on your muzzle (unless you are willing and able to wait one year, put up with a nazi-style registration process, and pay an asinine tax.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I wonder how many fans I have worn out since 1984? I haven't found a fan loud enough that doesn't blow away everything in the room not fully secured.  edit - even the four fans on the Herc don't kill it. Ringing was loud enough when I departed active duty I could hear it over the flight deck noise during formation low-level.  |

It usually gets drowned out by background noise, and becomes bearable.
Then some jackass has to go and bring it up and now it is magnified x87! Thanks a lot! |

Thank You Drill Sergeant Faison for making us take our earplugs out on the Live fire & Maneuver range At Ft Benning AIT in January 1979.
I was AG on the 60, My ears were in screaming pain for a week after that, the tinnitus never left. I've made a lot of mistakes to compound it along the way since then, but on that day, it began. |

I went over to a friend's house, he bought a couple new pistols he wanted to show me, and that turned into an impromptu trip to the local indoor range.
I hate indoor ranges, but hey, any chance to burn powder can only be a good thing. I only had my Surefire EP3s in the truck though, and like an idiot I didn't get any muffs from the range. We spent maybe an hour or so there, and I was terrified afterwards because my ears wouldn't quit ringing for like three days. I'm sorry for you guys that are stuck with that shit permanently. |

Mild case here. Mostly drowned out but do need a fan/white noise to sleep at night.
I always keep a box of disposable foam ear plugs in my garage or a handful (new in package)in my shooting bag yet it never fails to amaze me when I offer them to people who turn them down. I always tell them I have a little hearing damage and dont want it to get worse as I offer them a set. They usually reply with some variation on how they have super ears that dont get affected by loud noise. 
Whatevs bro. BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG,ETC. Then for the rest of the day they go around asking you to repeat your self.

For anyone reading this who doesn't have tinnitus - wear your damn ear pro.
And for reference, go to this site for examples of what we some of us listen to 24/7. American Tinnitus Association. I have something close to example 1 in one ear, and example 2 in the other. Really, really loud. |

When I was growing up ear pro was either cotton balls or Dad's cigarette filters shoved in my ears.
Fortunately now, my hearing aids help to cover the tinnitus. 
I use molded plugs now, and add muffs when shooting big rifles. I can't afford to lose any more hearing. |

if you don't have it you don't want it. It can get really severe and go beyond being just a nuisance. Protect your ears while shooting.
If you've got it there are some triggers you may be able to eliminate to minimize the effects. Caffeine Smoking Alcohol Stress Common pain killers like aspirin ibuprofin etc. High blood pressure Managing the coffee and alcohol intake has had a significant effect for me.

It happens gradually and most of the time they would never notice. It is normal, but something to monitor from time to time. |
