My left handed shooting 18 yo son is 10% deaf in right ear due to shooting a remington pump which ejects out right side when he was younger. Now he shoots a browning eject bottom. Highly encourage all lefties to think about that. School made us get him checked out by dr. Dr said irreversible.

I don't think a right handed pump caused his hearing loss. By the time the breech of a pump shotgun is opened the noise is gone. If the breech is open when the gun goes bang 10% hearing loss is the least of your concerns.

Shoot left, muzzle blast is on right ear. Shoot right, muzzle blast is on left ear.

My ear doc told me I was a right handed shooter before I ever told he I used a gun. Audio test and frequency of patients with my condition tipped her off right away.

I would say that makes good sense.

64 with hearing aids both ears, why, because I shot lots of guns, and worked in a work area ( lab ) that had constant noise level. Also, weed eaters, blowers, mowers can damage your ears. When your young, protect, protect, protect your hearing. You will be grateful in your later years for sure.
