@Dbroussa it doesn't sadly, by default ear protectors spawn as the vanilla ones, just don't click the option to turn them into the AZ ones, (the ones that have no hearing impairement and can be worn on the neck)

@Dbroussa I don't know. I don't use that mod personally

Does this work with Authentic Z's ear protectors?

@kindertak Every gun, modded or vanilla has a set sound radius. Every shot you make adds that number to the counter. For vanilla firearms, you can find their specific sound radius number on pzwiki.

VERY cool mod, i just would like to know how exactly does the counter work? does every gun count as the same one, is it custom-picked for each vanilla gun or is it based on some parameter like sound radius?

Planning to add earplugs soon

hey! good mod! i lowkey wonder if there's a way to add an item like earplugs which function like ear muffs but don't display on your character? i just don't wanna run around with headphones lol

41?

Hi all, please note that if you're using the Pack Mule mod then you need to disable their new ear protector slot via their mods sandbox options. Otherwise, ear protection will not work

@unlockk I honestly don't know. It's possible that that could cause issues

Just out of curiosity does this mod account for Surviving Through Seasons where you can make the year less than 365 days? I see it uses the code 'currentDay' and 'GetWorldAgeHours' and idk, I wonder if the days get skipped it also skips the recovery attempts in the forgiving version of this mod? I lost keen hearing after firing a gun maybe 20-30 times and it never came back, so was wondering how the code works.

any chance of adding ear plugs or something like that to allow wearing with helmets or other items that cover the ears?

is there an option for the tinnitus effect to be disabled, for those afflicted with it in real life already and not wanting to experience it twice?

@Hans-Landa Every gun, vanilla or modded, is given a sound radius. This tracks the radius. And a .22 caliber gun would naturally have a much lower radius realistically but it all depends on what number the modder gave it. I would think that they set it to something low

Sorry if this was asked previously but im using Guns of 93 and I'm shooting a Ruger MK.II which uses .22 LR, does this mod take into account caliber and if so guns that are suppressed and or come with integrated suppressors to reduce hearing loss?

@Bubby_pz23 In that case, I think I have to wait one more day... I lost count while "inside", as I kept sleeping in the prison.

@TaikaJamppa The forgiving script gives you a "recovery roll" once every 24 hours in-game. You get four attempts total over four days, and if you fail them all, it becomes permanent

@bubby_pz33 Forgiving. Thanks mate, appreciate that. Also, can you confirm the time this trait should disappear? Description says "few hours"...

Also, I did shoot in the prison's hallways, approximately 60-90 rounds, give or take. Three mags from the AR-15, that is, that caused the loss of hearing.

Which version are you guys using, normal or forgiving

@Polyethyleneglykol I have the same problem. I thought it might've been because I disabled the mod for a brief moment, without loading the game while it was disabled, but still... Did you solve the situation anyhow?

Does saving and reloading while having Hard of Hearding cause it to be permanent?
I have had it now (for the first time this playthrough) for 3 ingame days (2 hour days)

One thing games and movies never accuracy represent is how freaken loud guns are, I mean I shot a .45 with out earplugs once and within the first shot my ears where ringing for the rest of the day. This is a good mod, makes shooting for emergencies only unless you got ear protection. Thank you for making this @buddy_pz33. I hope your willing to updated it when/if we get britas.

@bubby_pz33 appreciate that :P

@MeanSmoker It is

Lost keen hearing to TTS and it didn't come back. can you confirm if that's intentional?

the mod is great. pz also has the perk "keen hearing" i think it would be a good idea to increase the chance of hearing loss for characters with such a perk. the mod is perfect, i really look forward to the ability to hang headphones on my neck and put them on when needed. mod 10/10

very good mod

I pray this one day becomes part of the Vanilla game.

@maboo That'll only happen if another modder wants to assist me with it. Otherwise I see B41 as a waste of time

Don't you have any intention of releasing version 41?

Hey, could it be made to work with mods like Rain's B42 Firearms mod? In it, it has suppressors and the likes.

The mod will be updated soon to address that @Coby

is there a way to turn off permament hearing loss? id like to keep only the partial one

As some one who already has Tinnitus I approve of this mod. Tinnitus for your Tinnitus.

@Mantha I am the end-game boss. I feed off of your suffering >:)

why do so many absolute masochists play this game lol
jokes aside, really neat mod

This is really good

Once britas weapons are updated we need a patch for suppressors.

@bubby_pz33 Roger that. Thanks for the mod, none the less. I will definitely play around with it sometimes... I admit, I like it and hate it at the same time!

@Sahji I appreciate your enthusiasm lol

@Goatroach active noise canceling was first developed in the 30's and was commercial by the late 80's, so it would indeed be around in '93.

Ugh thank you for updating it to work with hats. My cop can now wear his police hat and ear protectors. You're a damn legend. Excited for the earplugs!
That's not a sentence I ever thought I'd write.

@TaikaJamppa I'm pretty sure that it was the issue. Should be good now but lmk

I wonder if active hearing protection existed in 1993.
The earpro I wear IRL gives you super human hearing, and disables the mic and speakers when the dBs get high enough. It's great. One night, when I was wrapping up a dusk shoot at the shotgun range, I was the last person there, but I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around, and about 100 yards out in the desert there was a coyote prowling for rabbits. I had accidentally turned the gain up to max on the earpro.

I didn't know about active hearing protection until 2019, so not sure if they existed back in '93. If they did, they'd make an amazing addition to the game.

Reminds me of ACE3 for Arma 3

@Bubby_pz23 The gun was AR-15 from B42 Rain's Firearms & Gun Parts and it was the white protectors. I don't know, if the mod that allows those protectors to be worn on your neck had an effect on the situation, too.

Added a way for players to reduce the counter. Check the effects of aiming levels in the technical details discussion

@Everyone I realized that the mod that allows you to wear ear protectors with hats changes the body location to Ears so it was causing my gunshot tracker not to count correctly. My apologies. Updating it now with the fix

I've had the unfortunate displeasure of firing both my rifle and shotgun IRL without my earpro on, and yeah, it hurts like heck. I have tinnitus, but that's from years of sleeping with a fan on near my head.

This message brought to you by the letter, "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..."

finally it exists i wanted something like this for a while
