One time I shot my .45 without protection and for about 5 min I thought for sure I would never hear again. How do those guys in the military shoot fully automatic rifles over and over and over without protection???....
I suppose now-days folks have protection in the field but what about back in WWII or the korean war or even vietnam... if anyone says they often used hearing protection in these periods I will assume that is an assumtion.
To me, it seems, hearing protection would not be something highly desired in an enviroment of awarness and constant alert. How would you hear someone sneaking up on you. Also, from my experience, you cant effectively pinpoint the location of enemy fire (if you must rely on sound to do this).
I dont even want to get into trying to have a conversation with anyone other then your co who is yelling at the top of his lungs
I know this really isn't important, but honestly, its been bothering me.
