How Loud Is A Gunshot?

In the Nam, with no hearing devices, I was around 105, 155, 175 and 8 inch cannon. In the field, as a F.O. I was in firefights, ambushes, etc. V.A. Gave me a disability for tinnitus but not hearing loss, although they will, and do, provide me with hearing aids…go figure!

Sounds like the VA

Your lucky you are not communicating with sign language 😳.
 
Loud enough that even I should keep my ear protection on (Despite having been born severe-to-profound deaf). :D

On a sidenote, Walker Razor Slim electronic ear muffs are sorta like a poor man hearing aid, and I can sometimes hear my peers better than with my hearing aids (especially since they are mono on the mic, and send both L/R microphone input to both ears, so someone talking off to my right, I can still hear them in my better left ear).
