Why is it important to wear hearing protection when shooting?

To increase the hunter's ability to hear game
To prevent temporary discomfort
To protect against long-term hearing damage
To improve shooting accuracy

The correct answer is: To protect against long-term hearing damage

It is important to wear hearing protection when shooting to protect against long-term hearing damage. Exposure to loud noises, such as gunshots, can cause permanent hearing loss over time. By wearing hearing protection, hunters can reduce the risk of damaging their hearing and ensure their long-term auditory health. Option A is not correct because wearing hearing protection actually reduces the ability to hear game, as it decreases overall noise levels. Option B is not the main reason for wearing hearing protection when shooting, as the primary concern is to prevent long-term damage rather than temporary discomfort. Option D is also incorrect as hearing protection does not directly impact shooting accuracy.
