I made the mistake of forgetting to pull down my headphones before starting to shoot my 9mm pistol at an indoor gun range. I fired 10 rounds before putting them on. When I got out, I couldn't hear anything.
It's been 7 weeks now, and my hearing has improved only slightly. I have fluttering in my ears when I yawn, burp, or swallow, and everyone's voice sounds distorted, like a broken speaker. I went to an ENT, who told me that recovery can take a long time.
I'm frustrated because it's hard to communicate, and the tinnitus is constant. Has anyone else been through this? What are my chances of getting my hearing close to what it was after 7 weeks?
