How many rounds did he fire before losing his hearing entirely?
I ask because I have fired thousands of rounds, probably even tens of thousands of rounds through AR platforms without wearing hearing protection (while in service), and I only have mild hearing damage.
Except the fact that most indoor ranges have employees and rules and RSOs, you’re not allowed in the bays without ears and eyes already on specifically because of this.
I’m betting that if his story is true, it was indoors but not on a real range. Maybe home defense or just being a dumb shit in a homemade basement range or something.
You joke, but I litterally know a guy who recently completely lost his hearing from firing his AR without hearing protection.

I know I wasn’t there. He said a few minutes changed his life permanently.
I could easily see that happening in a small indoor range.
