I see this "growing old" as a challenge. just had an eye test and was told the cataract in my eye is normal for someone my age.Quite true. I'm a geezer and shot for years before hearing protection came on the scene. I grew up on a farm and drove tractors from daylight to dark. I spent most of my adult life working in noisy environments with no hearing protection. I did start using muffs for shooting many years ago. My brother in law that was a jet engine mechanic in the air force gave me a pair of muffs and, oh, what a difference it made. Now I'm half deaf and have the hearing tests to prove it. I use amplified hearing protection now when shooting and love it. I can hear what's going on around me and still protect what's left of my hearing.
I put up with the crickets in my ears for years and then I only became aware of them when I thought about them. Now they are gone. Maybe if you live long enough you outlive the crickets. Now if my brain would only ignore the floater that comes and goes in my right eye like the doctors say it will I'd be happy. The thing disappears for days and then returns. It's rather annoying. How long does it take? This thing has been around, off and on, for a couple of years.
Kind of sort of, still drives one nuts sometimes. Some people have committed suicide over tinnitus, it's no joke.you get used to it. no choice really

Numbers lie, try it live and in person with .45 ACP and .357 Mag, there is more to it than the DB number.
Just take folks word for it.
Dunno, I do know the crack is much sharper with .357, but it is much worse than the .38 Spl as well, I think it is a combo of smaller bore, more powder which is a louder boom, as well as velocity of the bullet as well as the powder gases.I wonder if it's totally the concussive properties of the explosion or if the fact that the .357 is supersonic and the .45 is subsonic has something to do with it as well.
That would drive me insane.
