[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16490298, member: 21786"] Even with what they offer and if you wear it you may still get damage, and hearing protection is a perfect example. I used disposable hearing protection the entire time and some of those were even the 3M ear plugs that are now the source of a class action lawsuit due to being faulty and not offering actual protection. I probably received the initial damage to my ears in CQB school. Going through shoot houses I had my hearing protection in every time but there was one time where I forgot to put them in because I was nervous as I was doing a test so after realizing it right after taking my first shot in the first room there was no stopping and telling the instructors as they probably would have failed me on that test for not being prepared. So I went through a shoot house shooting dozens of targets without ear-pro in a close quarters environment and it was hell! I knew right away I had ****ed up big time. That was the only time that was entirely my own doing though. Another time the spongy ear-pro expanded in my ear in a way that didn't seal completely so I was getting some pretty loud cracks coming through whenever I shot and I had ringing after that run. Everything was moving too fast in the house so again, couldn't stop and fix it and had to deal with the damage being done. I also wonder about the time I had my ear-pro in correctly and all was good but I entered a small room and took my shots on target and after each shot my vision flipped upside down and I started to lose balance and began to stumble backwards.

It was really weird and luckily I haven't had issues with vertigo or anything, but another guy said he had the same thing happen to him in the same room. Those are the types of instances that happen all the time to people though and it is good to be covered for stuff like that.
