    They may be deaf. Well some are but I would say its not from shooting, most likely work related, but they probably fired more rounds than we ever will and they never thought to have something to stop the noise.
    We don't really need them as most only fire one shot. yes it causes damage but not more than a few minutes on a disc grinder or chainsaw with no earmuffs.
    Ive seen people who say they must use a suppressor on a rifle due to the noise but will use a chainsaw without earmuffs

    its all about looks and image, nothing about effectiveness of the suppressor.

    If it was really a huge issue and all that, then the Police and Army would have suppressors on their rifles. But they don't and they fire a lot more rounds than you ever will.
