One thing that occurred to me is whether he suffers PTSD from the first incident.
The other possibility, especially given that he is a security guard, is that he has an authoritarian personalty (disorder).

No way that is going to happen from being multiple feet from a pistol going off (and being inside a vehicle to boot). I've shot plenty of guns without ear protection in my misguided youth and I still have good hearing. No, I don't recommend it, but he's not going deaf permanently from this.

Are you really directly comparing your youthful exploits to his experience?
If so, while I'll admit that I'm a bit bothered by the idea of you being on the muzzle blast end of your shooting; I'm thankful the bullet graze to your head didn't permanently affect your hearing...

The shot was from outside the vehicle from, what, 5-10 feet away. You're implying that would be louder than holding a pistol at arms length or shooting a rifle without ear protection?

Are you implying that muzzle blast directed at your face followed by a bullet donking you in the head isn't analogy-equivalent to shooting without hearing protection!!!
Shocked! Shocked I tell you!

I suppose it does depend on how one shoots. Wasn't there a video a few years back with a .50 BMG ricocheting back from a rock down range and knocking a guys hearing protection off his head?
