That sucks, however the story behind going undercover with the outfitter has me intrigued.I took a 12 ga. blast a couple inches from my head about 15 years ago. I was working undercover and the bad guy outfitter shot at a duck coming in from my side. Everything went black. I couldn't see well for a period of time and it took several days for my hearing to return at all. Now, while I can usually hear geese before my buddies, women, children and many song birds are a problem. The higher pitch tones are gone. I wear hearing aids.
I use SureFires EP4's, they are comfy. I use them while bird hunting (pheasants, ducks and grouse). While I'm deerhunting, i leave them in loose and when I hear or see a deer, I push them in and get ready.On the topic of young guys attempting to save our hearing, does anyone have any recommendations for what they use while bird hunting? I’ve started carrying earplugs in my bino harness for big game, but I like being able to hear while I’m hunting birds.
Fixed it for you. Seriously, $1000 buck now for a suppressor or $10,000s for hearing aids, etc later plus all the loss of enjoyment of life.If you shootmuchout in the field at all, get a suppressor.
Hearing aids just cover up the ringing with actual noise. It is still there and you will hear it when its quiet. At least that is my experience.I use SureFires EP4's, they are comfy.

My left ear has tinnitus, and as of recently has caused me to get a MRI as my doc's are trying to figure out why I have dizzy spells every 1.5-2 weeks; you would think i'm in my 70's but i'm only 34. After a few stressful weeks of waiting for the MRI and another 24 hours after, I'm all clear at that point, just need to do some type of therapy.
Do hearing aids dumb down the ringing/humming?
I try hard to wear protection, and have done so for a long time. I had lots of ear infections as a child, and between the loud noises of construction work, and that infection shit, I think I might be losing the rest of my hearing now.Was on elk hunt last week with 73 year old father who worked construction and can’t hear shit. Every time I asked if he heard that he looked at me like I was insane.
other note. For the last 17 years we’ve lived close together and worked on numerous noisy projects and shot firearms. Every single F$&@$!;:time I had hearing protection handy and he would say “it’s to late”.
This last trip he decided he would go get some hearing aids. Gawddammit.
I like hearing elk bugles and wear ear plugs when I mow the freaking yard.
