I could be the poster child for the modern day version of the old hearing protection warning ad. A guy held an ear plug in one hand and a hearing aid in the other. He said,"You can wear these now (earplugs) or wear these later (hearing aid)."
I'm olny 28 years old, and I pull the hearing aid out of my ear and say that very thing to anyone I show how to shoot. I wish I had seen that ad about a decade earlier before the damage was done. At least now you and I can pass it on new shooters be they young or old.
I know that most of us know this now, but some people don't. Tell others, and more importantly lead by example. New shooters can be uncertain and very impressionable; show them the right way. Mabye then there will be fewer of us asking," What did you say?"
