I saw the audiologist this week. He said profound hearing loss in my left ear. I'm thinking that means it's finally time to invest in a few suppressors. I always was good about using hearing protection. I'd like to get as much use out of the remaining right ear as possible so it's time to adapt.
Have you ever tried a muzzle break with say a .223?
Right handed shooter: usually the left ear goes bad. Sorry to hear this guys. My hearing is shot in my right ear. Been that way for many years. Even when I was young. Constant ringing. I was 23 years old and signing a waiver saying my hearing was so bad that the company I worked for was not responsible. Shot a lot in my younger years without hearing protection. Killed a lot of chit, including my right ear.. I'm just a "paper puncher" though ha ha ha ha.. So, for the OP, can you shoot a lesser recoiling rifle? Hunt and shoot a 223 rem? Don't give up entirely man..
