how long you may be suffering from the effects of acoustic trauma is really unknown. recovery time is an individual experience but most people do improve over time. in a week or two but a few (hopefully not you) have permanent damage to the inner ear and may experience these symptoms for a long long time. never shoot without good ear protection!
ringing and fullness (pressure) in ears after shooting? . i'm 19 and am a new shooter and today we all forgot our ears and i fired 30 mid to high cal rounds it's been about 10 hours and although the ringing has gone down it's still there as well as a fullness similar to when you change altitude in a plane. my friend and his dad were both fine after about 10 minutes but they are very experienced shooters. what can be done about this and how long does it take for a younger persons ears to recover?
