Main question: when does hearing the sound of pingers become the certainty of being detected?
And if there is a difference or time-frame between hearing the pingers and actually being detected, what are the best counteractions?

You regularly get pinged? Wow, it seldom happens for me. Of course I keep my boats speed to 3kts or less and rig for silent running if in danger. Faster speeds if avoiding DC's for a brief period. Hearing the sound means they picked up something funny on their hydrophones and their checking it out on active. Do they have you? Not usually but it depends on what year you're in. From my understanding, the faster the pings the better the certainty is of your doom.
