Well, ear protection is vey important because every time you shoot a gun without ear protection you will damage your hearing. With eye protection it is quite rare for you to get hurt because you aren't very likely to be hit there. I'm going to go with ear protection.

Ear. I wear eyeglasses with resistant lenses anyway. But after seeing people discharged from the military for bad hearing I've always been paranoid about it. I wear suppressors or earplugs when mowing, shooting, or even vacuuming.

It depends on what you're doing - if its hunting pheasant or other upland birds with other hunters, I'll take eye protection.

When i hunt deer i dont use either. I tried ear protection for a while but it just made i so that i couldnt hear the deer, and wearing clear plastic glasses for eye protection usually gives me a headache
