Message: <blockquote data-quote="svnmag" data-source="post: 333410" data-attributes="member: 330">Right ear is at about 90% hearing capacity, left ear at about 40%, at least according to the hearing test tech dude, I get tested every year at work........... I attribute my left ear hearing loss to shotgun shooting, shot a ton in my youth, both hunting and some trap, never wore hearing protection so its my fault. I guess it is what it is, when I am out camping and the crickets and frogs and bugs are chirping and buzzing, I just put my right ear on the pillow and I don't hear a thing. And if I really want to hear of follow a conversation I have to lean in with my right ear, other than that I guess I just live with it.For all you youngsters on this site, take care of your ears and wear protection when shooting or operating load tools and equipment, you wont regret it.I surmise you're a lefty.   The ear against the gun is somewhat protected by the Doppler Effect.  My left ear hasn't stopped ringing since the buck in '09.  The 7 barked and I was nearly deaf in the left side for about a long ass time.  Sometimes wonder if going prone enhanced this.  Left side of head felt strangely swollen then the "Exquisite Cricket" began it's asshole life.  Many years of hard rock drumming with headphones/marching band fagginess/bar bands/concerts and shooting seemed to cumulate for that shot.  A lot of time I'm able to block it out.  As I type this--no.  I feel this is a deja vu post which is still pertinent.Anyways; at least plug the off side ear when hunting.  You won't notice it after a bit.Nobody will listen but anyways:<a href="https://youtu.be/YCs6Tpd5sFQ" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/YCs6Tpd5sFQ</a></blockquote>
