    Hearing

    No, not at all but he did ask that I not pass on what he told me. If you have a tinitus problem he is well worth contacting via pm.
    I am stoked with the results so far.

    Well , my hearing loss is not curable, 50% loss across all ranges from birth, don't wear aids either as i work outdoors and wind noise just makes them go staticky which sux so i just make do. if i can't hear you i just have to get closer. I always tell my prospective employers at interveiws as i have had some funny looks when i have being employed and they realise i can't hear properly

    I shot the .300WSM and the brake was almost point right at my ear and I forgot the plugs and took the shot and I was hearing ringing for 11 hours before it came right, Never make that mistake again.

    It is a grammatical syntax error Wirehunt.

    Its a paradox, and much easier to handle when logic is excluded.

    I have always loved the word oxymoron. You can use it on so many occasions.

    From what I understand (and I am no expert, merely recalling high school biology) the hair cells within one's inner ear which convert air vibrations into sound will deteriorate with age regardless. Overstimulating them by continued <insert exposure to loud activity here> will only hasten their demise.

    Basically once you're past the age of about 10, these hairs begin to "die". If one looks under a microscope and compares the inner ear of say... a young child compared to a septuagenarian, the child's ear has hairs in abundance whereas the older person's ear, looks like a barren forest.

    So I see 2 perfect solutions here, a) get a left hand drive car, or b) let the wife drive, and get a cig lighter powered portable beer chiller.

    I shot the 300wsm without the ear muffs once and it had me hearing ringing for a lonnnnngggg time. was complete mute for a couple mins. (has brake) anyway I had my hearing test the other day as usual with chemo as it can effect hearing and mine normally looks like this.
