Ha, JimmyHAD. Yeah right now I am hearing what is either cicadas or electric line buzzing. It's all day, all night, all the time. I didn't know or think to plug up my ears back in the day. 30-30's make a helluva sound opposite the bidness end. I can't blame it all on shooting though. Hammering on iron and using grinders does it too. Oh to go back and undo it.
