![]() Yes, it can be painful, and yes you could have significantly reduced hearing for a short amount of time while your eardrum heals, but the permanent damage slowly accumulates. And they’ll only be slightly higher than what’s considered hearing safe (exposure time matters for this too).Īll in all, the hearing damage from a short exposure to loud sounds like gun shots isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. ![]() They will likely be below the pain threshold for your ears. They won’t be movie quiet like subs, but they won’t rupture your eardrums. If you add a silencer, even supers aren’t that bad. It’s not like you’re going to have massively reduced hearing from one self defense encounter. Yes, you will have permanent hearing damage, but damage from a single unsuppressed rifle gunshot has about the hearing damage as a work week of exposure to loud background noises like machinery, or loud A/Cs. You will likely rupture an eardrum, but that heals. Some things to think about in terms of sound and hearing damage though:Įven without a silencer, a couple supersonic loads shot in your house isn’t the end of the world. A rifle load just gives you a slightly bigger margin of error. Single shot from a 9mm carbine and he was instantly incapacitated. Heck, look at the video or the two guys arguing over custody on one guy’s front step. With a vital zone shot, they will be in hypovolemic shock quickly. Even if the sub only does crush damage, you have a 1” wide face cruising through the body with those expanded petals. They’re better than 9mm or even 45, but way more controllable in a braced AR pistol. I personally think subs are totally fine for home defense.
