AKA Shell Shock
It would be interesting to model and animate the damage as the wave travels through the interfaces between the different densities and elasticities of brain tissue.
Not too dis-similar to RF, seismic and optical wave analysis.
It would probably only take me about ten years these days.

Seriously!

Wow, just wow... This REALLY does not bode well, for anyone who's been shooting a whole lot of guns and the people around them.

@violetmadder @zl2tod @hannu_ikonen @clive less like that - because we humans are surrounded by loud sounds for most of our existance as a species...

I'd rather suspect something like #Sonar exposure instead cuz that shit can turn peoples brains into tomato soup...

@[email protected] potential damage due to #Sonar exposure? Like they do want to avoid it but that isn't something guaranteed to be and yes, that shit is [loud af]( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaO6jQEmfoYGl&t=100s ) and even lethal at close range...

The only common thing I can think of in nature that causes actual explosive shockwaves, is lightning. Thunder is about as loud as a gunshot, but nobody is holding it at arms' length on full auto.

@violetmadder @zl2tod @hannu_ikonen @clive yes and no.

Cuz OFC there's ear protection and if it was vibrations and just normal harsh noise there would've been sufficient samples before...

I'd still bet it's #Sonar given that even remotely hearing one is considered a "GTFO the water - NOW!" thing in terms of diving because that sonar can turn one's brain into Bolognese Sauce before the sonar operators even realize they're close to a diving spot...

@kkarhan @zl2tod @hannu_ikonen @clive

Firearms are not "normal harsh noise", and earplugs won't protect your brain. The shockwave is a concussive blast that travels through the whole body in an abrupt strike.

Sonar is a whole other separate issue.

@violetmadder @zl2tod @hannu_ikonen @clive I disagree since then we'd see the same issue with #Jackhammers and other pneumatic powertools...

Ear protection works because you ain't firing the gun in an uncompressable medium (i.e. water)...

With sonar the person is encased in an uncompressable medium and thus the energy is undampenable...

@kkarhan
Has anyone looked to see if the issue occurs in people using jackhammers?
