I need to lean in to that. I'm already mildy hard of hearing from all those concerts and trips to the gun range. Make them shout through their diaper but act innocent
I'm already mildy hard of hearing from all those concerts and trips to the gun range.
I knew early on about cumulative permanent hearing loss, so from the start I did this:
CONCERTS - high-dB-block earplugs
GUN RANGE - high-dB-block over-the-entire ear muffs with high-dB-block earplugs underneath
I enjoyed all the concerts immensely, as the volume was reduced from insane and dangerous down to safe and enjoyable, and I could still hear everything fine. The concert industry is just friggin' insane. The ONLY sane, safe-volume concerts I EVER attended where I didn't need earplugs were Pink Floyd (twice in 1994) and a solo concert of one of their members, Roger Waters (1999). Those were loud enough to be enjoyable, but not enough to damage hearing, perfect! Apparently the Pink Floyd guys are the only sane people in the concert world though. ALL other concerts have been needlessly, dangerously, stupidly loud for no good reason. So plugs it is!
Lots of gun range trips. The double nested protection worked great.
I'm middle-aged and my hearing is still excellent, I can hear really high up in the frequency range and can hear super-quiet things at long distances.
If you have offspring who want to do concerts and gun range trips, consider suggesting this to them. It works.
I find that the earplugs at concerts not only help cut the volume down to tolerable levels but also make it sound "better" due to not having overblown bass and other shit. Although I forgot them for a $uicideboy$ concert and that was the loudest shit I've ever heard in my life. I don't think I've recovered.
