Hard of Hearing and Firearms.

I can't imagine firing guns all the time is especially good for your hearing.

Much like how killing enough zombies will lower the amount of panic you get around them, firing enough shots with firearms would slowly tally up to give you less auditory perception.

Wearing ear protection, such as earbuds, headphones or even helmets would temporarily curb or neutralize the tally towards a lowered auditory perception. However, you would hear less while wearing ear protection.

It'd take hundreds of rounds without ear protection to begin feeling Hard of Hearing in its glory. The bigger the round, the more of a tally. Shooting indoors would amplify this tally. Gunshots from others would also add to the tally.

Main use would be to discourage heavy firearm use. You would need to sacrifice a small amount of hearing while using ear protection when using guns, so you could save your ears for when you really need them.

For sure it's realistic, would it be fun though?

 

Personally I think firearms have been heavily penalized enough with the fact that hordes of zombies will hear your gunshots as well as being somewhat rare and requiring aiming skills to actually use.

 

So by adding another penalty, wouldn't that detract gun use even more? 

 

Still an interesting idea though.  :-D
