For some, the experience is even worse, and their hearing may become damaged, either temporarily, or even permanently. It may differ from individual to individual, but there is no denying that loud gunfire is harsh on the ear, one of our sense organs. That is why there is a greater drive than ever before to make people aware of the potential dangers to their hearing when they expose themselves to loud noise.

Stop Worrying About The Effects Of Loud Gun Fire And Similar Noise On Your Ears Every hunter, every competition shooter, everyone that takes to the shooting range to exercise their skills, knows how unpleasant the sound of loud gunfire can be to listen to. In some cases, it leads to ringing in the ears, even for a long time after you are back in your house. For some, the experience is even worse, and their hearing may become damaged, either temporarily, or even permanently. It may differ from individual to individual, but there is no denying that loud gunfire is harsh on the ear, one of our sense organs. That is why there is a greater drive than ever before to make people aware of the potential dangers to their hearing when they expose themselves to loud noise. Of course, this is a true danger when one is exposed to loud sounds regularly. However, even one loud gunshot or a similar blast from, say, a jet engine, or a machine that emits sound levels of 120 dB may cause permanent damage or hearing loss. The term decibel (dB) can be explained as a unit that measures the intensity of sound, thus any sound the ear is exposed to. Understanding the danger of being exposed to extremely high sound levels can be explained as follows: normal sound levels cause no harm. Examples would be conversation at acceptable levels (not constant screaming and yelling), sounds one encounter in nature, for example, bird song, the sound made by a gently flowing river (not listening to the Niagara Falls all day long). Therefore normal sound levels are ideal – our ears are made for this, the normal sound level. These levels can measure between 60 and 85 dB, for example. The moment we listen to traffic all the time, dB goes up, or when we are exposed to ongoing subway noise it is no longer normal since these levels go above 90 dB, which is not ideal. The moment we hear a gun being shot close to our ears, it goes up to 120, already dangerously high for many individuals.
Anything above that is virtually guaranteed to cause severe hearing problems. These individuals may soon be suffering from what is referred to as people with NIHL (noise-induced hearing loss) which millions of Americans and others all over the world are constantly at risk of suffering from. It is quite prevalent among shooters such as hunters and competition shooters. Fortunately, there is a solution, and as opposed to a few decades ago, more and more people are aware of how they can protect their hearing since NIHL is preventable. The answer is in wearing protective earplugs that block out harmful noise and harsh sounds. There are different ones available, some older and less sophisticated than the modern options. Of course, technology advances and is improved upon, hence the newer products offer more impressive features. Older types are typically foam plugs which are often used only once. They can help to block out all sound, thereby offering protection for the ear. Some earmuffs are worn over the head to protect the ears. They often offer better features than the older, more traditional foam plugs. But they are often cumbersome when you carry them around or take them off just to put them back on when shots are fired. Consensus these days seems to be acquiring advanced electronic plugs that are small, made to fit into the ear to make sure you do not hear a loud noise – such as gunfire. They are, however, designed to allow another sound through – just not high dB sound such as gunfire. These are technologically advanced digital products that are easy to insert and take out, comfortable to wear, and guaranteed to offer maximum protection, with the added advantage that the wearer is still able to hear normal sounds such as moving prey in the bush, the conversation around them and those sounds that will not damage their hearing. These are the products of the future for most (already thousands of people are using them) and can be purchased from leading suppliers, also from respected online sources.
