I think it should be left up to the individual. If they feel that they need, or want ear pro, it is up to them to obtain and use a level of earpro that they deem sufficient for their own needs.
Sound distraction devices add a very cool aesthetic to the game, removing it because somebody is unwilling to buy a $5 pack of ear plugs is unfair to all that enjoy the more in depth game play.
We require eyepro, but leave dental, facial, hand, etc. protection up to the individual, despite numerous incidents of chipped teeth, embedded BBs/BBs going inside nose/ears, and BBs destroying fingers and knuckles.
All this, yet there is not a single thread trying to remove BBs from play because people don't want to wear more protection.
Edit
Random note;
According to the 'Academy of Pediatrics and the National Campaign for Hearing Health' the report from my ASG is above safe hearing levels. Nobody is complaining about that...
