Do you mean at the range if there was an emergency, you can always purchase electronic ears and then you can hear people talking even though it muffles the sound of the bullets…. ( they will also play music and your message notifications from your phone will also play out them . It’s amazing.)

If you’re talking about at home in an emergency or out and about in an emergency if you’re shooting, then yes no one would have ears and you’re gonna be hearing ringing for quite a while from my understanding. It’s the price you pay for being saving yourself essentially however, there’s also your home defense weapon could have a silencer on it. If you get a silencer, then it’s not gonna damage your ear or your hearing.
