I know when I got that. We had finished dove hunting and I had taken my earplugs out for the day. We were cleaning birds on a tank dam and my cousin saw two birds coming. He fired without warning. My left ear has had ringing ever since.
Have you ever tried some natural tinnitus remedies?
You remind me of a shooting experiment I tried many years ago. I’d just purchased a S&W Model 19 .357 magnum at Marshall Field’s in Chicago. It was delivered to my parents’ home in Homewood, a Chicago south suburb. At the time (1968) there was still a lot of open land around near where they lived so I took it out to a group of sand hills to try it out. Since I’d never fired a .357 I wanted to know what it really sounded like. I put two full powered .357 rounds through it at 4:00 p.m. My ears were still ringing at 10:00 p.m. that night. I’ve never again fired any type of firearm without ear protection.
