After reading through several threads about weapon choices for home defense, I wonder if anyone has given thought to hearing protection?
Granted, I'll risk my hearing before risking my life or the lives of those I care about but I've been considering getting a set of those "hunter's ears" just in case I have time to put them in before I'm forced to pull any triggers. Any unsuppressed firearm that would be effective against intruders is going to do a serious number on my ears in a small room. I already have significant hearing loss just from hunting (rifles and shotguns) and plinking (.22s and center-fire handguns) without hearing protection before I knew better and that was all outside.
Anyone else considering or doing this?
