May 24, 2023 went shooting at a public range. Just had foam earplugs, they were fitting well, same ones I used for work around loud noise. Someone showed up next to me. I didn’t know he had a 44mag. The noise from that was too much for the foam earplugs. I immediately backed away and put on the earmuffs. But, damage was done. Been over a week and still have headaches and hearing loss issues.

Went to Ear doctor! I have permanent damage my right ear. I now need hearing aid. I no longer enjoy music, riding my motorcycle, and I will never go to a range again. It also feels like a brain injury.🥲
@@austinporter4285 Glad to hear you fully recovered. Did your ear also feel like there was some pressure too along with ringing and muffled hearing? I’ve been experiencing this now for 3 1/2 days. I just started taking oral steroids today. If you have any suggestions please let me know
