Yer... Empty a belt from a BMG with no ear muffs on and safe to say you've done yourself some damage I reckon.

Plenty of the WW1 & 2 veterans had a fair bit of hearing loss.

But no need for us to be greatly effected with good PPE now-a-days.

Just need to wear good muffs or plugs as much as we can.

Especially at the range.

I dunno about going back as far as WW2 and further.

I read this so long ago I've forgotten everything about it TBH.

I'm pretty sure it was soldiers in the current US military trying to sue for the hearing damage they sustained.

They might be trying, but they can't win.

Solider's can't sue the military in the US, period. It's come up in the past when people have been injured or died as a result of military base doctor negligence and other circumstances.

People try, they get knocked back, end of story.
