I was once told that the high pitched ringing you here after being exposed to noises, such as rifle fire, without hearing protection, those are the frequencies you won't here anymore; just listen to them as they fade away. I have complete high frequency lose in both ears; I left it all on a hill called Tinajitas in Dec of 89. It does not come back; protect what you have while you still have it. It only netted me 10% disability when I retired, but I do get free hearing aids from the VA, not that I use them, just ask my wife.:D
    Confirmation on the high-pitched ringing.....this is true and proven.

      Man, I had almost forgotten the ringing part. I've had that so long I'd gotten used to it. Now that you all mention it, I can hear it again!

          Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to
          beat you to death with it because it is empty.

            well, my hearing is finally coming back. I promise, from now on, I will wear hearing protection.

              I had to put down a horse last November. I was so upset,
              that I forgot to put on ear protection. Yeah, real life isn't
              like the movies.

              I fired 2 rounds and my ears seemed to ring for hours.

                Good for you. Worth all the trouble! I promise.
                JUST CURIOUS? PRUNES ARE DEHYDRATED PLUMS. SO WHERE DOES PRUNE JUICE COME FROM?

                  Very good, I am glad for you!
                  I wasnt so lucky after putting 25 rds through a 12g sighting it in at a friends house I have permanent loss in my right ear and a defening ring when the room is silent, but that was when I was young and stupid and you never think youll live this long at that age, but you do.
