Today I went to the indoor range that I attend every Sunday. Prior to entering I install my ear plugs and ear muffs and put on my protective glasses. Upon entry, the guy who was in the lane next to mine was firing a .40 cal. Even with all my protection, the "crack" of the pistol bothered me. I entered my lane and every time he fired, I could ALMOST seem to feel the concussion from his firearm. It really threw me off my game. Then another person entered on my left side and was shooting .357, I am in between the both, and the noise from left and right was very disconcerting. I was there to practice double taps and after 100 rounds I quit. Lately I have noticed that when I go to car shows (weekly) cars that have loud exhaust or running headers uncorked really bothers me. I have tinnitus( constant ear ringing) and have for years however today it really affected me. Has anyone experienced this and how do you overcome it? I have had this problem years ago however lately, it has really become a problem, however it has never affected my shooting. If anyone has had this problem, please share and help me get over this. Thanks to all!!!

P.S. I know getting older has an adverse affect but at 70, it should not be this adverse. :dunno:
