Early teens I was firing off 1 or 2 packets of 12g a week , my old man never really mentioned ear plugs either though now & again he,d stuff some toilet paper in there , suppressors are relatively new to me say out of 30 years of hunting with no ear protection iv had a suppressor for 3 years which I now wouldn't be without , around 10 years ago I got a free hearing test did not give the lady any background info at all took the test & the first thing she said to me after the test was "you must be a keen hunter " I don't notice it but seemly the left ear isn't so great , however one thing I do notice if there is background noise going on when im trying to listen im hopeless , definitely more conscious of my hearing now , last 2 opening weekends I use some electronic earmuffs , pervious to that 0 .
I cant help but wonder in our current climate perhaps our wonderful pm could subsidise suppressors for us in the name of health & safety .
