The same ear plugs used for shooting are used in industrial plants and construction sites all over the place (much more industrial/construction use than shooting use). I am sure the manufacturer has plenty of experience defending cases like this.

I think he is going to have to prove that 1) he did no other activities in same time frame that could contribute to hearing loss, and 2) that he lost the hearing at that time. I really doubt he has hearing tests bracketing that day to prove it was based on that one event. I also wonder if range offered him ear muffs when he arrived.

He only shot one box of ammo. So that tells me he was in there less than an hour. I really can't see that much permanent hearing loss happening even if he didn't wear ear plugs. I am doubtful of his claims.
