[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 1397687, member: 1535"] I thought about just this subject one day while watching some action movie and wondering about cops shooting at bad guys without hearing protection and what it would be like during home defense or from inside my truck shooting without ear protection and about what if I had to shoot in defense of the home or myself or family and didnt have any hearing protection in,would the shock of the situtaion make me not care about it? I already play loud rock music in a band for a living and have since I was 16 and while we wear ear protection nowadays I didnt always and I do have some hissy background noise in my hearing because of it. So,to test this I went to the back of my house where we have a bathroom off of our big bedroom that we have been in the process of remodeling for a while now. Even though this may seem stupid I just wanted know how loud it would be if I had to shoot inside the house without ear protection. ( I dont recommend anyone else do this and it was a stupid thing for me to do,but my curiosity over rode my right thinking). 2pm in the afternoon,I live on the edge of the city limits and most people in my neighborhood are gone at work so I didnt anticipate too many people outside of my house hearing it as my house is rock on the outside,so I shot one mag of HPs rapidfire out of my XD9mm into near the bottom of this old wooden bathroom door that is getting replaced anyways from about 10 feet. Holy ****,it was pretty freaking loud in an enclosed space. It was like I was playing on stage with no hearing protection at the Cains. My hearing returned to normal not too long after. Reminded me of hearing fatigue when I have the headphones on when recording in my studio. Dumb thing to do maybe,but,I now I know. [/QUOTE]
