Many of the Older Men at the Range Wear HEARIG AIDS
by Greg
There are a great many older (70+) who are active members at one of the ranges to which I belong. Many are WWII or Korea vets. And many wear one or two hearing aids. The percentage of them wearing hearing aids is far above the general population of their age cohort. While I have never asked any of them if being around shooting without hearing protection may have contributed to their hearing loss, I would bet a million the answer, in silent retrospection, would be "yes". Never shoot without "eyes and ears".
