         The US Army is currently doing a study on gun ranges of giving 
recruits a particular oil / vitamin.  Can't remember what it was, was on 
msnbc.com a while ago.  Supposed to help prevent anti-oxidant build up in 
the ears, which is what causes hearing loss.  Good to take before, or 
within 8 hours of loud noises if you didn't before.
