Gah, ear problems are "fun". Couple of ear-plugless concerts and I already fear I have a little damage.

Jet engines, helicopters, rifles, one grenade and other mixed pyrotechnics and way too many loud rock concerts and I know I'm done for hearing wise. Enrages any member of the female species I'm with XD

My father was a marine stationed on a gunboat during Korea. If you were on deck when the 9" guns were fired, they gave you one cotton ball. You pulled it in half, and put that bit in each ear.
The VA's been very generous with his hearing aids.
MisterHeal:
I'm 19 (Turning 20 in December... Responsibility :C).
Would a full cotton ball for each ear really helped? That must have be really loud!!
Redball:
From the sublime to the scatological: The appearance of stinginess reminds me of Army basic at Ft. Dix, where we were told we'd get one square of TP. We were to fold it in half and half again, tear off a piece at the center ... and honestly, I'm not quite sure what came next, except that it probably belongs in TMI.
jwhouk:
Maybe advertisers for Jeph's pages should start paying attention: he's got that 19-24 demographic down cold.

Allegedly these are supposed to help for mechs now, both for skull and hearing protection, but I'm deaf and got knocked out at least twice with one of those puppies on, so judge for yourself eh? XD

This tradition continues with the current issue MREs, Slightly squicky details and a humorous sfw comic: (click to show/hide)but solve the problem by mixing in materials that make the resulting waste a key component in modern composite armor, and about as much fun to pass...
