The most common revolver caliber used for bear protection in Svalbard is the .44 Magnum. .44 Magnum revolvers normally have five or six chambers in their cylinders. Firing five full-power .44 Magnum cartridges inside a small cabin will likely cause measurable hearing damage.

Any tinnitus would not have been permanent.
