If you reread my post,you will see that I said no permanent"detectable" hearing loss.My hearing has been tested every two years for the past 25 years and as of the last test,no permanent hearing loss has been detected.
Don't get the underware all in the bunch there captian, but every time your ears ring there is hearing damage plain and simple. It takes time and repatition for the effect to build up, and usually hearing falls off very subtly and very gradually (read undectable by run of the mill tests,) and then tanks all of a sudden. Sorry I isulted you, was just floating a warning to people. I work in a enviroment conducive to hearing loss, and I don't want my fun stuff to add onto what I spend money to avoid at work.
I also work in an environment conductive to hearing loss and that is why we are tested regularly.My point is that no hearing loss has been detected over a 25 year period shooting guns without brakes and except for that one shot with a brake my ears have never rang from shooting.However,Idid give anexamplewhere a single shot with a brake caused permanent hearing loss that was detected through our regular tests.My point is to show just how much more of a threat a brake adds to the risk of hearing loss.
