Even if it’s not causing brain injuries, it is causing hearing loss. Even if you double up and wear both earplugs and electronic ear muffs, a rifle at an indoor range is LOUD.
BTW, having silencers on everything would go a very long way to eliminating these risks. Silencers slow down the expansion of gasses, which also slows down the pressure wave.

Hearing loss is neurodegeneration. It can progress retrograde to the brain.
