"We'd like Marines to be able to continue to hear for many years even after they leave the service. These suppressors have that benefit as well."

A nice idea.

In the long run, Marine officials also hope the suppressors will help reduce hearing damage suffered by Marines in combat units.

They have to be careful about what they say. This pretty much gives Marines almost an automatic hearing loss service-connected disability or a V.A. disability.
