Hi all. I came down with tinnitus, and I am afraid to shoot, for fear of worsening the problem. I'm curious to know if anyone else has tried shooting with tinnitus, and what the results were.
FYI, while suffering with tinnitus, i wanted to gently test my ears, and I went to an outdoor range to watch a friend, and I wore ear plugs under ear muffs. I stood back away behind everyone. I observed that 45 ACP was slightly irritating, 12 ga didn't really bother me, and .223 was pretty loud.
I'm curious to know if anyone with tinnitus is shooting, and it is not causing the ringing to worsen.
Thanks
