Why is it important to wear hearing protection when shooting?

To improve aim
To block out distracting noises
To prevent hearing loss
To follow the hunting laws

The correct answer is: To prevent hearing loss

Hearing protection is essential when shooting because it helps prevent hearing loss. While it's true that wearing hearing protection can help improve aim by blocking out distracting noises, this is not the primary reason for its importance. Additionally, following hunting laws is important, but it is not directly related to the use of hearing protection. The main reason for wearing hearing protection when shooting is to protect your hearing and prevent permanent hearing damage that can occur from exposure to loud gunshots.
