Hello everyone, I’m new to the forum.

2 weeks ago a friend dropped a mag but forgot to clear chamber and ND’d his glock 19 right next to me in a medium sized bedroom. Fortunately no one was hurt other than our hearing. The scary part is that I’ve spent the last 20 years of my career as an audio engineer and my hearing took a hit in my right ear.

I went to an Otologyst 2 days later, they did audiogram and they confirmed threshold shifts in my right ear. The doc did an intratympatic steroid injection and sent me home to hope for the best.

It’s 2 weeks later now and my hearing still hasn’t improved much, and I still have high pitched ringing.

Have any of you experienced this? Did anyone see more hearing improvement after 2 weeks?

I’m still holding on to hope that it might get better, but if it doesn’t I’m afraid my career might be over.

Any insights appreciated.
