My wife dragged me to the ear Dr. last year. She kept saying that I wasn't paying attention to her- Well yeah!
Well the gal who tested my hearing kept coming on the intercom asking me questions like, "were you in the military?" No. "Did you fire cannons while in the military?" I told you, I wasn't in the military! "Have you worked for blasting companies?" No.
I go done with the tests and went to see the Dr next.
Got the same damn questions from her. NO...I was not in the military...No I didn't work around explosives (not that she knew ha,ha,ha).
Well she told me that I had 75% loss of hearing in my left ear and 50% in my right ear.
The it dawned on me up until...maybe 10 years ago I never wore hearing protection. In my youth I shot a lot of trap and skeet. Also when I was young I played a bit with BIG firecrackers- If you know what I mean and of course I never wore ear protection.
So to make a short story longer- I am a fanatic when it comes to ear protection when shooting with friends or being the RO at the club. Bottom-line, you don't have ear protection you don't shoot around me.
last, even with the excuse I got from the Dr. my wife still says I don't listen to her. [url=http://www.freesmileys.or
