I was stationed in an artillery unit in the Army, and although they gave us foam earplugs- as I am sure you know the plugs only knock down a certain DB range.
Well- a howitzer, Abrams, etc are well above safe even with plugs. Heck most anything in the Army is well above safe even with the plugs. So I also can't hear / understand and yea when in a restaurant, crowd, or TV on- WHAAAA???
By the time I hit your guys age I expect to be pretty much alone in my own head.
When I watch WW2 movies and guys are shooting off huge cannons and howitzers and stuff, I can only imagine how loud that must have been.
bet they went to sleep at night with ringing ears
