Hearing protection while hunting?
Hey, i'm new to hunting, i've done a little rabbit bow hunting but with no success. Anyway, some of my uncles are taking me hunting in the mountains for hunting roe deer here in Romania. I'm 16 and this is my first time hunting. I have these ear muffs http://www.ukindustry.co.uk/boschpowertools/products.php?category=Clearance i've used while working with loud power tools. Would they do for hunting? They have a noise amplification system and are rated for 27 db of noise reduction. How about if i don't use them? Will a 16 gauge shotgun sound unbelievably loud? I've never heard a gun shot before, and i can only compare it to that of a crappy air rifle that sounds a little more quiet than a .22. Thanks!
hearing loss is due to the volume of the noise and the time exposed.
This means a single large explosion (provided it doesn't blow your eardrums out) will do less damage than listening to your car stereo cranked up for a single long car trip.
I suggest using hearing protection at the range, but actually when you hunt you shoot very rarely, so I don't bother then.
