Hearing protection would be very low or not even a priority on my list, after being awakened at 2 in the morning by the sound of breaking glass or the dog barking.

Being groggy from sleeping and trying to get your bearing, while grabbing your sidearm and flashlight is going to be difficult enough, until you wake up, let alone trying to don a set of hearing protection and turning them on.

My hearing takes 2nd place to my family in that situation.
