When should you wear hearing protection?

Only when shooting at a range
When hunting game
When around loud noises
Always when shooting or near someone shooting

The correct answer is: Always when shooting or near someone shooting

Wearing hearing protection is crucial to prevent permanent damage to your ears from loud noises, including gunshots. The correct answer is option D, which states that you should always wear hearing protection when shooting or when around someone who is shooting. Even if you are not the one shooting, being near firearms being discharged can still have damaging effects on your hearing. It is important to prioritize your hearing safety whenever firearms are involved. Options A and B are too specific and do not cover all necessary situations where hearing protection is needed. Option C is also too broad and vague, as it does not specifically mention the high decibel levels associated with shooting firearms. Always opt for wearing hearing protection in situations involving firearms to safeguard your hearing against potential harm.
