I do have a set of electronic hearing protection that I use but still interested in other ways of getting to where an occasional shot without isn’t such a big deal.
I understand my friend, just trying to help. What people often don't understand is that our hearing naturally declines slowly throughout our life until our 60's then goes into a steep decline from there on out. So what happens is people think the damage they're doing to their hearing isn't a big deal because they can still hear ok and 1 shot here and there doesn't seem to be a problem.
It does become a problem though when we go into that natural decline phase. The more diminished our hearing is going into our 60's the worse the drop off is. That's why you see people all the time going from functioning ok to hearing aids within a few years.
Off my soapbox now...carry on
