Yeah, that's why PPE is always the last line of defense after other mitigating measures. In my industry though it's often the best you can get due to the way the work goes so we have a bunch of old people with hearing loss.

Shooting guns is LOUD. For a recreational hobby it's good to remove as many barriers to hearing loss as possible, so the US's stigma against cans should change.

It's mostly movies representing suppressors as assassin toolkit "silencers" coupled with a lack of education and the ridiculous cost and acquisition hassle for a piece of PPE.

USA has guns, like it or not. We should be encouraging education and the safest use possible every chance we can.
