## Resource

Hearing loss might be the most ignored problem in waterfowl hunting--because you don't notice until it's too late. But a single shot or three aint that bad, huh? Dr. Grace Sturdivant of OtoPro grew up around the same guns and traditions most of us did. Now as an audiologist, she seeing firsthand what unprotected shooting actually does. She explains how damage happens each time you pull the trigger, why most hunters are already affected, why most hunters are unprotected, all available options--to include in-ear foam plugs--and how to choose the right gear for real-world hunting situations. If you hunt anything, this episode's worth hearing. Pun intended.
