An Illinois resident has filed suit against a shooting range, alleging he suffered from diminished hearing after the range failed to provide him with adequate protection.

. .

Owoseni blames Belleville Indoor Shooting Range for contributing to his injuries, saying it negligently failed to provide adequate ear protection, failed to provide adequate sound proofing, failed to keep the shooting range free from defects and failed to warn Owoseni it was allowing another patron to fire a loud gun.

Thanks. I’ve been looking into something that will generate the realistic sound of waves on a beach. It will compliment the “insect” noises nicely. Some nights, however, it’s incredibly LOUD. Like being in forest filled with cicadas. That usually happens with too much caffeine or stressful day. Funny. I always thought hearing loss would be a quiet thing.

i'm a firearms instructor and despite the normal precautions I also suffer from minor hearing loss and tinnitus. I just keep a small fan by the bedside. It seems to work just fine for Me.
