The bed side weapon, and hearing protection..

[KennyFSU]

That's a pretty expensive alternative.

Maybe we should just sleep with earplugs already in place? May help get a better night's sleep too.

Lets go over the odds in the interest of science.

Start with the a dirt bag who decides night time is a good time to burg your house specifically, and the even slimmer chance you confront him with the opportunity with a good shoot and with a good background to shoot at. I highly doubt those 4-5+ shots are going to make you go deaf or affect your hearing anymore than driving your car around with the windows down.

Just my opinion though. I can't really see why you would need them.

Im just gonna go ahead and rely on my friend, "Auditory Exclusion" instead of the muss and fuss of trying to put my "Ears" on.... while my family is getting raped

I wouldn't worry about long term damage.

Yes, on this. Plus addition of using a suppressed weapon will only assist in this decision. It is what I do and use. Men have been using firearms for centuries without aid of earpro. Only seems recently that we as a species quibble over minor risks of causing ourselves discomfort.

If you are dead, you wont have a reason to worry about your hearing.

When you are talking about a quick encounter, ear pro is not needed.

As stated above people have been shooting for years. How many hunters waer ear pro?

I used to work with a guy that was a radio operator in WWII.

It was a vehicle with radios or whatever, the constant whirring from the cooling fans was responsible for his hearing.

He said it wasnt loud at all, just a low whirripng sound for a few years.

I think its important to wear ear pro if youre out a couple tmes a week.

I don't think anyone's debating the merits of proper ear protection in appropriate situations.

I don't know if you actually read the thread, or the thread title, but we're talking about responding to a "bump in the night" situation.

Honestly if it was me, and I was willing to spend a few extra seconds grabbing additional gear, it'd be my plate carrier, not some ear pro.

Not debating anything


I always thought that was interesting, I didnt know a low sound like that could mess with your hearing.

Any sounds that has the same constant tone or pitch over a long period of time can cause hearing loss. it does not have to be loud for you to loose hearing.
