I heard this weekend that the ported choke tubes are very damaging to a dog's hearing. How true is this? I haven't been able to find anything on the internet to support it so I figured I'd ask the pros here! Thanks!

I suppose if you stand your dog in front of your gun while shooting skeet all day, it might have merit. Regular bird hunting exposure to it? I doubt if there is any more damaging effect than regular tubes.

I doubt if there is any more damaging effect than regular tubes. I'd figure the same thing. My dog is 9 and he's losing some of his hearing, and I don't shoot a ported choke tube. It's just part of a gun going off in your ear 1000 times a year for 9 years...
