So I went to the range today with my shotgun, my .44 revolver, and my old Russian rifle. I decided to fire a shot with my shotgun to see how it would sound. Well, I couldn't hear after that and ringing set in. I did the same for my .44 and rifle. Again, pretty much deaf. I then wore earmuffs for the rest of my stay.
Anyway, when you fire a gun in-doors, the noise is deafening and it creates a ringing sound in your ear, which indicates freshly damaged cilia in the ear. I still hear the ringing and it's been 9 hours since then. So my proposal is that shooting the revolver, shotgun, and old hunting rifle inside the station would cause temporary deafness and/or a ringing sound to play for everyone nearby. The suppressed .22 wouldn't cause either as 1) it's suppressed and 2) .22 is not loud enough to cause damage even without being suppressed. If deafness is too harsh, it could muffle or lower the volume of what you hear temporarily.
