You know I've been pocking PLA of it's poor earprotection that it issues to it's artillerymens but apparently the situation isen't much better in the US Army either. I noticed that they have small earblugs but from personal expereince I can assure you that it's hardly sufficient. You can withness this yourself...note how everyone covers their ears when firing? Poor lads...
On positive note I couldn't leave noticing the curved loading club which is used to ram the shell into the tube. In high angle position which howitsers are often fired it's actually very practical as you can ram the almoust 50 kg shell into near vertical direction from ergonomical position.
