Hearing the enemy isn't the biggest loss from earplugs. When most of our combat maneuvers are in play they are fast and furious full of noise and probably no chance to hear the enemy anyway, except "AAAAGHHAHGHH!!!" The biggest loss when wearing earplugs is communicating with your fellow team members. Move, shoot, and communicate are like legs of a triangle. If you take the ability to do any of those things out then you are flat lined.
Combat can occur in a multitude of environments, and while some environments rely much more heavily on your ability to HEAR an enemy FIRST in order to take action, some environments rely more on SEEING the enemy first.
