I learned the hard way about hearing protection. My (ex) husband, his brother and I were shooting at my brother-in-laws house. After my turn, I stood to the left of the shooter, never giving it a thought. Later that night I realized I couldn't hear the words and all sounds were muffled. It lasted for two days.
Strangely, so I thought at the time, my LEFT ear was worse than the right. I finally realized that the reason was that my right side was open space and on the left was a pick-up truck from which the sounds bounced off.
I learned my lesson!
