How many rounds did he fire before losing his hearing entirely?
I ask because I have fired thousands of rounds, probably even tens of thousands of rounds through AR platforms without wearing hearing protection (while in service), and I only have mild hearing damage.
You joke, but I litterally know a guy who recently completely lost his hearing from firing his AR without hearing protection.

I know I wasn’t there. He said a few minutes changed his life permanently.
I could easily see that happening in a small indoor range.
