OK - we are going into the debate where someone says - well, I shot a lot and didn't get hearing problems.

The science says that statement is worthless as a generality or argument against using hearing protection. Cease and desist that.

We are also getting some wild-eyed zombie appearing over your bed to stab and maim you.

If that happens then you are surely a poor defensive planner for your domicile. That's your problem.

If you are at home - unless you are faced with a breaching team - a properly thought out house should give you enough time to retrieve a gun, light, muffs and maybe call the law.

We are close to close.
