I also have tinnitus and like some have already said I don't remember a time when I didn't have it. I have been shooting guns and playing the drums since I was very young and didn't always where hearing protection. I did almost always when shooting but almost never when playing the drums, I just didn't know I was never told that it could damage my hearing. Sometimes my ears almost hurt like a burning sensation, I am not sure if this is related or not but assume it is.

While I'm posting I have a question about preserving my hearing. I usually just wear orange soft plugs when I go to the range, is that enough or should I also use muffs? I have a pair of the surefire plugs that should be hear soon and have read that 80dbs is safe opinions? (I have read the posts regarding the surefire plugs I am more curious if you actually find 80dbs safe).

Thanks,

Fng
