Lower Sound of Tracer Rounds in Spike Rush

BambooHime

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but... Can you guys lower the sound of tracer rounds in spike rush? One or two bullets at once is still loud, but when I get hit with 7 bullets at once from a shotgun, I feel like my eardrums literally get destroyed, to the point of losing some of my hearing for a short period of time. The most recent instance, I played a spike rush game 10 mins ago and my hearing is still is impaired, and I can't hear lower frequency sounds (such as foot steps or low voices - they're all muffled).

I'm so sorry that this happened to you, and I hate to break the news to you, but if you keep doing this, you can possibly permanently damage your hearing (because loud sounds can do that.) What I suggest you do is to be proactive and lower your volume on your computer (there are settings in-game that let you adjust the audio, but not for the tracer rounds in particular, unfortunately.) I also suggest you go see a doctor to try to prevent more hearing damage in the future, even if you don't feel you have any lasting symptoms right now, because noise-induced hearing loss is cumulative, meaning the more exposure you have to sudden, loud noises, the worse it is for your hearing. And also remember: no video game, no matter how fun it is, is worth losing your hearing for and Valorant, as a game, does not require for the sounds to be very loud to be playable or fun. But take this advice with a grain of salt because I am not an expert, and you shouldn't be taking medical advice from strangers on the internet.
