Shotgun going off

Loss

Hearing loss can be either result of cummulative or sudden exsposure.
any sound over 90Db is uncomfortable and over 110Db can result in permanent loss. Examples of noises over 110 are gun reports, rock music concerts, lawn mowers.
Normal conversation occurs at 40-50Db.

Hearing protection while shooting and using power tools is highly recommended.

An example of sudden hearing loss was President Reagan when his hearing was severley affected in one ear as a young man by an unexpected gun report close to his ear.
 
In a word yes. Probably a lot of psychological damage too. If anyone let any gun off 5" from my ear, he would probably get 2 blacks eyes and a broken nose to go along with his broken in half gun.
