I'm 83 now, and currently am VA assessed at a +30% hearing loss...............mostly due to military service involving small arms fire, too, I've also been a shooter since my teens and served as a LEO for a lotta years.....during my early years that ringing in our ears was thought to be a temporary matter.........and I don't recall ever being issued ear protection in the military, ever! By the time the LEO stuff started I had enough sense to wear protection, but even that is not always possible.........especially hunting. I can only say that if you are cavalier about the problem you are also gonna' have a wife that develops good lungs from yelling at you.
Don't own a suppressor currently but if I'd had the option in my younger years I would've picked one up.............they were illegal for hunting in Florida for a number of years........changed now. Just remember that it ain't dumb if it works and the things are gold when it comes to reducing hearing loss!
