The goal for gun noise would be to just bring down damage to roughly "normal ageing for someone in a normal environment" level. Yes, of course we all lose hearing as we get older, that's just the baseline. As long as you aren't doing significantly worse then the baseline that's reasonable enough imo. For tens of milliseconds worth of exposure per shot added up to a few seconds worth over a few mags the NIOSH limits are pretty good science, and if you combine a suppressor with decent earpro you can bring down even a rifle to the point where you can shoot more than any normal person ever would and you're still very comfortably within long term decent exposure limits.

Fortunately starting January next year the suppressor tax bullshit goes to $0, and eforms have gotten fast and easy. I think around or after that we'll finally start to see some genuinely cheap cans in America at long last. Once you can get a gudenuf range can for $50-100 that should make it a lot easier for people to do better.
