I got tinnitus already dont need to make it worse which is whats happening, its normal around the world to hunt with suppresors to limit noise pollution affecting wildlife and people if its a matter of public safety comes first then how do other countries manage to minimize the risk? and why cant we?

It is unfortunate that the current legal stance puts Canadian hunters hearing at unnecessary risk.

Suppressors are PPE for firearm users and a courtesy for people living within earshot of areas with firearm activities. Suppressors are NOT silent. They are LOUD but they reduce the range of firearm noise to a manageable and courteous level.

We are one of the few first world countries still not allowing supressors as they are not viewed from the correct standpoint of a safety device for hearing.

With noise, OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) is 90 dBA for all workers for an 8 hour day. ... Here's an example: OSHA allows 8 hours of exposure to 90 dBA but only 2 hours of exposure to 100 dBA sound levels. NIOSH would recommend limiting the 8 hour exposure to less than 85 dBA

As an American and as someone from California I understand your guy's plight and I'll stand by you Canucks to legalize suppressors.

Its a pointless law. People who purchase guns illegally can purchase silencees illegally too. People who follow the laws to the T are always the ones who suffer.
