    UPDATE - got hit with COVID-19 over the past couple days and the ringing is back. Understandable as my sinus' and ears are heavily congested.

    Hey all, UPDATE. Today was truly a turning point. My range of frequency has seemed to be back to normal or very close to it. The horrible ringing that was occurring has diminished to the point I need to be in a dead quiet room to hear any trace of it, and even then it’s almost not noticeable...

    UPDATE - it’s been two weeks since the incident. I’m certainly progressing in the right direction. Starting to feel someone normal again albeit still dealing with a little ringing (it’s only really noticeable in extremely quiet environments). And my ears just feel a little muted in general...

    Question... Feeling pressure accompanied by a whooshing noise when I sometimes move my jaw or yawn. Feels almost like my ear is clogged. Does this go away?

    I’m sure it did something but how long it will take to heal is the question. It’s trending towards a recovery but I’m just in the thick of it so I’m emotionally drained right now. I was wearing ear pro, I just think it snuck past the gel on my right ear... I didn’t absorb the full 160 dB SPL...

    Hello, my name is Chris and I’m a long time songwriter and musician. Almost one week ago I shot my 6.5 Creedmoor with a muzzle break while wearing my Peltors. My cheek weld must have offset my right ear pro just a little and bam I felt like I got hit by a bus. My hearing in my right ear went...
