HUH? What! What'd you say there sonny? All joking aside this a very serious subject. I can only imagine what my hearing would be like now if I was still jamming out 2 feet away from a Marshall Full Stack.... Boy the ringing lasted for days....

My only problem now is I've started to notice a light ring in my left ear, but I think that's really from shooting too many guns without ear protection. Last time we went hunting, my knucklhead inlaw shot a Winchester 7mm right next to me(OUCH!). I thought my eyes fell out of my head.
