The Importance of Hearing Protection for Hunters | Greg McHale's Wild Yukon

The Importance of Hearing Protection for Hunters
I haven't taken hearing protection as seriously as I should have until now, and I'd like to ensure that my children grow up with a healthy appreciation for the importance of protecting their ears. Equally, I hope you take the dangers of shooting and the operation of machinery as seriously as you should. In this video, I describe my experiences and the steps I am taking to prevent further damage to my hearing.

Played in bands from 1973-2010 and never used earplugs. Have been a hunter from 1968 to present day. Didn't start wearing any hearing protection as a musician and didn't start wearing hearing protection for shooting until 2006. These days, I can't hear anything over 9k Hz in pitch, normal conversation is difficult without hearing aids, hearing aids don't serve me well in noisy environments, and I have tinnitus. Use ear protection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GregMcHalesWildYukon]

Thanks for the real-life info, Mike! No one ever regretted protecting their ears.

[@morganmenard6244]

I shot a shotgun a week ago and my ear has been ringing since.. have you had this happen to you before !? Good video man.

[@GregMcHalesWildYukon]

I can't say I've had ringing last that long, but it's a great warning sign for you that you need to be more careful. I also use hearing pro when operating chainsaws and using machines like Argos and snow machines. You can't be too careful!

[@emjarven6017]

Spot on!

[@GregMcHalesWildYukon]

Thank you, Em!

[@NG12949]

I hunted moose one time with a 300 win mag with no ear protection and it was painful

[@Vikingocazar]

Retired RCMP here. I’m in the same boat… I wear hearing aids for hearing loss and tinnitus. What do you wear in the field Greg?

[@GregMcHalesWildYukon]

Hey Chris, I use AXIL hearing protection. They have a sale on now so you can use these links for a discount: goaxil.com/pages/gs-extreme-affiliatte-special?rfsn=6968998.ed312f&W46& goaxil.com/pages/trackr-earmuffs?rfsn=6968998.ed312f&W46&

[@Adam_Bileckyj]

Looks like you run brakes on all your weapons as well. Have you considered removing them and if so why haven't you? That will help a LOT even if you have hearing protection in.

[@GregMcHalesWildYukon]

I love the brakes for how they help control muzzle lift and make follow-up shots much faster. Also, I know that hearing protection is 100% necessary, so if I am wearing it, then the louder shots with the brakes are a non-factor. What do you think?

[@Adam_Bileckyj]

@@GregMcHalesWildYukon I wish we could hunt suppressed! That said, I was just curious as to your reasoning, you make a great point that people don't take it seriously enough. Even with protection, a braked gun is still loud but I guess if your weapons are light and you're shooting magnums you need something to reduce recoil. Keep up the great content, I love the educational stuff!

[@glock_9ine956]

@@GregMcHalesWildYukon are braked guns still loud with earmuffs?

[@midnightrider115]

The bag that’s holding his rifle. We’re can I get one? I use walkers in ear 2.0 for this same situation. But they were a lot more expensive. These are interesting. Especially if they pick up sound from far away.

[@GregMcHalesWildYukon]

The bag is the Air Armor Tech long gun case: I love it! www.airarmortech.com/guncases I threw my rifle out of my aircraft with it and we have a video on the channel about it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZKpfZ2apNp7h68

[@midnightrider115]

@@GregMcHalesWildYukon thank you going to look into it right now!!!!

[@jctoth]

If you're concerned about your hearing the first thing to do is get rid of is the muzzle brake. You're directing all the blast and noise back toward you.

[@GregMcHalesWildYukon]

Muzzle brakes are certainly loud for everyone in the vicinity, but I do love how they dampen the recoil and make staying on the target and allowing a follow-up shot, as well as reducing muzzle rise. It's a double-edge sword, but with hearing protection (mandatory anyway), I think the brake wins out.

[@robkom]

Everyone is concerned about their hearing-no one wants hearing loss and tinnitus. The first step isn't to remove any muzzle brake; there's only one right step, and that's to wear hearing protection. Muzzle brake or not, you're going to suffer from immediate and permanent damage to your hearing after every shot without hearing protection. And if you actually feel pain and discomfort from the sound, it will be even worse. Ideally, silencers for hunting should be made legal everywhere 🙄😔

WHAT! DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?

[@GregMcHalesWildYukon]

Yes, it is lunch time!

[@waylonlegend4603]

Don’t use someone’s shoulder as a rifle rest. I had an 06 go off inches from my ear.

[@GregMcHalesWildYukon]

That's a pro-tip if ever there was one!

[@SuAmigoElilegal]

This guy probably listening this video on his living room tv with headphones on

[@GregMcHalesWildYukon]

We are all at risk of damaging our ears. I think it's a topic that doesn't get enough discussion.
