I never said that it (auditory exclusion) happens every time we are exposed to loud noises, just that it is indeed a proven neuro-physiological effect. On the contrary, I think that your single data point proves a lot -that there is a lot of variability in that effect.
I was once in a cleaning area at a range when someone forgot to check their weapon prior to cleaning. The report left my ears ringing for about thirty minutes so no auditory exclusion there. I suspect that anticipation of a high stress event (like having to shoot to save one's own life) probably plays some sort of role in the response, which if true, would make auditory exclusion less important for the person being shot at -unless of course they were actually anticipating being shot at.
