Are You Experiencing Hearing Loss From Gun Shot Sounds?

After target practice, have you ever noticed ringing, buzzing, clicking or hissing ears? Have you ever had total hearing loss from gun shot sounds in one or both ears? This my friend, is a fairly common health ailment that can have some extremely dangerous side effects.

It is true that most hearing loss and ear ringing after shooting can be prevented by using appropriate ear wear, ideally headphones that cover the entire ear and cancel out all noise. However, sometimes if this gear is not fitted properly, one can still suffer hearing loss or ringing in one or both ears after they shoot or are around gunfire. In fact, most hearing loss injuries related to shooting occur in people who were not shooting, but were around people who were.

The fact is, gunfire is extremely percussive. When that sound hits your ear drum and the tiny hairs in your cochlea, it can cause serious damage. If you are around gunfire a lot, this type of damage can really add up. Some tinnitus sufferers report experiencing ringing in the ears for months or even years after it initially starts.

Often these conditions will worsen at night, making it extremely difficult for the person to sleep. Over time, the combination of tinnitus and lack of sleep can cause a wide range of health issues, from fatigue and lack of focus and eventually leading to total hearing loss in the affected ear. 

While it may seem like a benign thing to someone who is not currently suffering from tinnitus, in truth, for sufferers it can be a perfect Hell. I can speak from experience. After 5 years as a military infantryman, I was constantly around gunfire. The constant ringing, beeping or clicking I experienced made it impossible to focus on my work, or anything else. I was losing sleep at night, which made me exhausted and irritable during the day. 

By my 4th year of enlistment, I had a case of tinnitus that was causing me to lose everything I held dear. My performance on the job suffered resulting in discharge from the Army, and my relationships were starting to crumble. But then, I got help.

After it seemed like I had lost everything, an Army buddy recommended Thomas Coleman’s Tinnitus Miracle to me and it changed everything. At first I was skeptical, but after reading this book, and following its guidance I started to notice the ringing was a little quieter. By the 7th day on the program the ringing was almost completely gone!

Finally, I had relief! For the first time in what felt like decades I was able to sleep the whole night through. I found a good job, and found that I was able to focus on my work without being bothered by the ringing. I finally felt like I had got my life back.

While I still experience ringing a few times a month, it is about a tenth as loud and only lasts for a few hours. If you are experiencing symptoms like mine, you NEED the Tinnitus Miracle. Click here to find out how you can get your own copy today!
