One of the biggest secrets in the shooting sports is that it takes only a single blast to damage your hearing permanently.

Take the roar of a motorcycle running full-throttle for 40 hours straight, condense it into a split second, and you’ve got a good approximation of the sound energy generated by an average gunshot, wrote Hearing Loss News and Reviews.

It’s shocking, but even experienced hunters deliberately leave their hearing protection at home -- believing they can hear their quarry better with the naked ear. While this may be true for the short-term, it can result in dramatic hearing loss over the years that puts hunters at a greater disadvantage in the field - and makes them a safety hazard.

That’s because many hunters, and target shooters, don’t fully appreciate the magnitude of the risk of shooting without correct ear protection. Every time you pull the trigger on your firearm, you’re assaulting your ears with up to 150 decibels (dB) of deafening noise. While repeated exposure over 90 dB will result in permanent hearing loss, a single gun blast of more than 120 dB can do the same if you don’t use hearing protection every time you shoot.
