After experiencing temporary hearing loss for several weeks and having extreme sensitivity to sound at times being muffled with ear fullness, intermittent ringing, buzzing and "whooshing" in the ear, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It hurts more than your ears but overall how you feel and general quality of life (disrupts sleep, headaches). Be careful with that volume dial folks!

I’m armed and I’m drinking. You don’t want to listen to advice from me, amigo.
