When hunting w/firearms, I don't leave home w/out my game ears.(muffs) At the range, I double up w/ ear plugs. When around power equipment and lawn equipment: blowers, weed eaters, mowers, I always wear hearing protection. I'm not deaf but do suffer major hearing loss. Regret is a tough reality to live w/ that WILL effect interaction w/others.
