I know my hearing has suffered just from hunting/target shooting when I was a kid and we didn't bother with hearing protection. If I'm in a loud room (like a bar) I can't carry on a conversation unless the person talking to me is basically yelling in my ear. And active duty people still don't use hearing protection when they shoot.
I don't know how they can hear anything.
