This is interesting, I haven't heard of this concern previously. Intuitively, it would seem that the majority of the sound impulse reaching the inner ear would be conducted through the cheek and jaw bones. I can see a simple but inelegant solution (or at least mitigating measure) to that being the application of some type of adhesive foam applied to the stock to insulate the shooter's face.
