    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.

      I know I wasn’t there. He said a few minutes changed his life permanently.

          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.
