I have significant hearing loss in my left ear, in great part due to being a USPSA range officer during they 9x25 years
  my understanding it was destroying peoples wrists and elbows too.   I can not ecen imagine  shooting  several thousand rounds of it a week.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

It was the .41 Action Express. It was based on a .41 Magnum case.

That's the one, It was backed by FN Herstal, and IWI.
You could get Uzi's and High Powers in it.
A bunch of others were planning on it but it died to quick.

IMI , 941, was a .41 cal pistil, used a 9mm size rebated rim, came with a spare 9mm barrel and magazines.

Me too. In fact I'm totally deaf in my left ear. (Benign inner ear tumor at age 12). And have about 65% remaining in my right ear. (50 years of shooting). And severe Tinnitus to top it all off. Most common words in my vocabulary = Huh? and What?

Exactly

my ENT commented that a lot of left ear hearing loss of those of us that started driving in the pre car air conditioner days, was that we drove with the driver side window down, with exposure to  wind noise

I still prefer to drive with the window down when not on the Interstate

This is why I love it here this time of year. It's one of the few times during the year when we don't have to use heat or A/C while driving. It's about the only time I ever use that silly Sun Roof I paid for, but didn't want. (The car came with it).
