well that's because texans have evolved to withstand the forces involved in shooting guns

For the record, you have most likely permanently damaged your hearing. Hearing damage can occur at 85 db, and an average 12 gauge round can be around 156 db. One blast isn't going to deafen you, but it adds up, so be more careful in the future.

I shot it about 40 times, but like I said its back to the usual hearing volume and its just a slight ring when its extreamly quiet

Yikes, I thought you shot it once. You definitely have some level of irreversible hearing loss now.

welcome to the tinnitus club, im pretty sure everyone has it to some degree
its only noticeable if you're thinking about it, kind of like blinking and breathing
