Closest I’ve seen to this being done was the movie Black Hawk Down. Meanwhile can you imagine everyone screaming at each other in the John Wick films? Other movies like Aliens would have been a whole different level of horrifying as the sound fades away until its just the sound of the actor’s muffled heart beat and their cluelessness that the xenomorph is crawling up behind them.
The Sopranos did this in one early episode. Dude shoots another dude in a car and is immediately like “FUCK!” and holding his ears. Rest of the series is dudes casually blazing away and “I’m all itchy!”
Elvis Presley owned a 1971 Detomaso Pantera, famous for vapor lock. After arguing with a girlfriend, he tried to peel out but the car wouldn’t start, so he pulled out his .38 and shot the dashboard. No way he didn’t damage his hearing in a small sports car. The car is on display at the Peterson museum in LA with the bullet hole.
