Hey all,
went to the range at 5 am this morning, sighting scope on my AR15, pulled trigger for first shot and oops, earplugs were kind of half in and half out. And i didnt have the earmuffs on either like i usually do. Didnt hurt but im hoping i did no damage. It feels like my ears are popping (like when you are driving up a mountain or are on an airplane) but wont "unpop" when i swallow. I dont really notice any hearing loss. I know you guys arent ear doctors (well, maybe some of you are) but my question is: Sometimes after firing a loud rifle, is your head ever kind of "concussed" for a bit of time afterwards (headache/ears popping)..without necessarily receiving hearing damage? Hopefully thats what this is....
I saw a thread it seems where someone mentioned they feel pretty rocked after shooting a 50 cal (i know thats a big difference)
