Hearing protection is, without a doubt, one of the most important pieces of kit that a firearms owner can have. Hearing and sight, two things that we need to function well in our daily lives, simply don’t heal from damage very well. With that said, we need to do everything reasonable that we can in order to protect that. The last thing you want to deal with is hearing loss or tinnitus for the rest of your life. Instead, take the reasonable precaution and have ear plugs in with every single shot you take.
