- From my own experience:
-
- It may last some days up to a week.
- May be you have lost some percent of your Hearing for ever, but (normally)
- after some days you won't feel it longer.
-
- I had a lot of "bang traumata" (one every New years day ...) and the biggest
- one occured as a pot with Potassium chlorate and red phosphor exploded
- in my hand (also removing some quarter-centimeters of skin and, sprinkling
- tho whole kitchen with blood stains and totally disrupting the aluminum
- pot where the stuff was confined. (I only put a paper ball onto it, so you
- know --> NEVER NEVER use this stuff, the books know what they say, at
- least with this stuff)
-
- After this traumata, I heared nearly nothing for 2 days and the hearing
- came back slowly the following days over... The higher the frequencies,
- the later.
-
- BTW, I have no real experiences with the shock waves produced by real
- PE's as the NI3x(NH3)n compound (or whatever it is), I only know that
- their damage is much bigger, compared from my tests with SMALL amounts
- of NI3 and Acetone Peroxide.
