I'm subbing at my kid's school today. They're having hearing tests and I'm helping out the speech pathologists.
After the kids were done, I was offered a hearing test. I've not had one since my mom retired years ago, so figured it couldn't hurt.
I listen to lots of loud music and used to shoot .22 without hearing protection.
My left ear is "very normal," whatever that means, and my right ear is -45dB at 4kHz. Thinking about it, I think I did that just a few months ago shooting a nuisance chipmunk with a .45 and no ear plugs. I used my Jeep's hood for a rest. The sound bounced off the windshield and made me deaf in my right ear for a couple days.
Anyone else?
