How loud is subsonic 22 ammo
I hear you Billy..... I think.
I try to wear ear protection when I do a lot of the things you mentioned. I find I don't get as tired running the tractor or the RTV if I remember my ear muffs.
After flying small airplanes, taking the most powerful antibiotics known to man and being exposed to about a million rounds of handgun fire, I have lost all the hearing I intend to lose.
Truth is, I suppose I would keep a rifle loaded with sub-sonics by the back door instead of the pellet gun if I thought the neighbors wouldn't complain.

How loud is subsonic 22 ammo
I keep an old 18 shot Marlin 22 semiautomatic by the backdoor to eliminate groundhogs from digging in the yard. I bought some cheap hollow point bullets from Wal-Mart to use. I slide open the sliding glass door and put the barrel out the door and shoot. Even inside the house the noise isn't really that loud as compared to shooting my little 22 Beretta pistol outside. I should use hearing protection, but for the occaissional shot I pass. Just be careful if the shell kicks out on the Mrs. curio cabinet as she will become very upset and be a lot worse than the varmit. I guess you know how I know this.

How loud is subsonic 22 ammo
I'm gone a few days and miss a great discussion. 
After getting a hearing test during a physical at the Mayo clinic my left ear heard only about half as high on the frequency scale as the right ear. The first thing the doc asked me was "Do you shoot guns alot?"
I have a friend who operates heavy equipment for a living and he actually thinks his hearing cannot get worse than it is so why bother with hearing protection. The main thing to remember is that no matter how bad your hearing is, a continued high decibel environment will make it worse.

Hdozer,
Gee whiz, no one’s ever called me a genius before. I’m really humbled that you used your first and only post to tell me that. Did you join TP just for that reason?
