Default Hearing damage from a rifle shot inside a blind

Last fall my daughter took a WT buck with her 25-06 out of a pop up blind. I was sitting beside her and didn't notice the end of her barrel was inside the blind.
I didn't get my hands over my ears in time and the concussion slammed my nearside ear. I have a permanent ringing in that ear now. I purchased two setting of electronic ear muffs so we can protect our hearing and still whisper to each other when a deer comes by.
