No. A single round from a centerfire rifle or pistol causing measurable, permanent hearing loss.

Absolutely.

in my early-mid20's I touched an 06 in the back seat of a car iwthout hearing protection on. Instant damage in one ear. (the one facing the interior. The one facing the open door is "ok".

Noticeable from that point forward.
