While safety and careful handling is top the list on the proper use of a firearm, the use of hearing protection is not far behind. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders says that 10 million Americans have already suffered irreversible hearing loss due to noise, and 30 million more are exposed to dangerous noise levels daily. This includes noise from firearms, which, when experienced at close range, can cause noise-induced hearing loss from even a one-time exposure. It can also occur from exposure to gunfire over an extended period. The noise from firearms can reach an ear-piercing 140-170 decibels. For these reasons, hunters and target shooters are urged to wear hearing protection. Ask any hunter who never protected his or her ears. Better Hearing Systems of NWLA LLC provides a range of custom hearing protection options to help protect your ears from loud noises.
People exposed to constant high noise levels should be quite concerned about hearing loss. The first step in hearing improvement is to have a comprehensive hearing test to determine the extent and type of loss.
