Howdy folks!
I am looking for your opinions. My usual practice for hearing protection is to wear ear plugs( Howard Leight) and on top of which I wear passive ear muffs rated at 30 NRR.
Recently while at an indoor range, I was next to a gentleman who was shooting a 357 mag revolver in the adjacent stall. With every shot he fired I could hear a sound like a small bell in my ears for just a microsecond. Once my neighbor was done shooting I never heard the sound again. This makes me wonder if I am not using the proper hearing protection or was the sound because of the concussion due to the blast?
BTW my hearing is very normal and I do not have any ringing or other symptoms. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
