for the past few years i've noticed ver slight ringing in my ears when it's quiet at night. I never really cared.
a few months ago, after shooting a few times without ear protection, it's gotten worse and I was mad at myself for allowing me to shoot with unprotected ears.
this weekend, i had my muffs on top of my head, but with my ears exposed because i was talking to someone. when i turned to shoot i forgot to move the muffs down and just popped one round at the target and immediately realized i didn't have my muffs on.
never has a shot been so damaging to my ears. for the WHOLE DAY it felt like i was hearing underwater and the ringing volume doubled. that was two days ago now. the ringing went down SLIGHTLY, but the overall tinnitus seems to have almost doubled.
can i expect any more temporary ringing to go away or is this it? it's so loud, i can hear it all hours of the day no matter of the noises around me.
i supposed i can't ever have even one more slip up in the future. i feel like i'll seriously go deaf if i shoot another round without protection.
anyone have any input? can this EVER get better??
