The correct answer is: To prevent temporary or permanent hearing loss

You should wear ear protection when shooting to prevent temporary or permanent hearing loss. The sound of gunfire can reach dangerously high decibel levels that can cause damage to your hearing. By wearing ear protection, such as earmuffs or earplugs, you can significantly reduce the risk of damaging your hearing while shooting. It is important to prioritize protecting your hearing to ensure your long-term health and safety while engaging in shooting activities.
