Re hearing and guns: Do you really want to get to the end of your life and have your hearing, sight, libido, mental acuity, liver, strength and stamina in nearly tip-top condition? Are you an organ donor, because I want what's left over when you kick the bucket!
In all seriousness, lots of us shot .22lr without hearing protection, even when we were kids. I have some slight ringing, but it wasn't from shooting - it was from riding my motorcycle long distances without hearing protection - constant wind noise.
I'm not recommending shooting without hearing protection either, but I've done it and so have most other people. FWIW, I do wear hearing protection when i hunt. Yes, it's hard to hear the rustling in the woods, but that big pig (or buck) ain't worth my hearing.
