Guns, bombs, grenades, explosions are all pretty loud. If you join the Military do they let you wear ear protection? You can go deaf from being in combat right? Or do they prefer you not wear any ear protection? If not then why do they not let you?

You are allowed to wear ear protection and ofter required. Artillery wear the heavy headphone style ear protection and tank operators usually have ear protection built into their headsets. Additionally most ground combat troops use the normal in-ear earplugs.
Something else though too is a professional soldier’s body will lower the volume it takes in from sounds like gunfire after a few shots while not inhibiting the soldier from hearing commands.

We always had earplugs in a tiny plastic container hanging from a button hole in our shirts. I repaired aircraft for 3 years. I was once too scared to move from the front wheel well of a B-52 because they were testing all 8 engines up to 100%, THAT was noisy.

My friend is an assistant gunner in the army and he said the gun is sooo loud all hears after a while is a loud whistling sound in his ear.
Now he says he wears ear protection so i guess its aloud lol
During war?

you have to at most times that you’d need it. they have buckets and buckets of earplugs.
btw- if you are deaf from the military you can’t claim that as a disability.

Is require, because if you lose hearing, you can’t work and they has to pay you for medical expense when your got discharge.

Of course – you wear hearing protection on the firing range and around loud noises (artillery and armor). Cheap disposable ear plugs, more effective ear plugs and bulky battery-powered headsets that muffle sounds only over a certain number of decibels (handy as you can hear spoken voice, but not a loud bang that’ll knock out your eardrums).
But suppose you’re on operations – ear plugs can make it difficult to hear crucial things. Forget health and safety, shoot without them, gradual hearing loss is better than dying.
