The "BANG" from some guns are worse than others. If I was just hunting with a 22 I wouldnt worry , & the occassional shot from my 308 or 22-250 I can live with. I once owned a 44 mag S&W revolver that felt like an anvil had been struck with a sledgehammer everytime it was fired. I mostly wore ear muffs with the 44 as your ears would be ringing for several minutes without.
My hunting buddy is a bit deaf - from shooting, & he purchased a pair of those expensive db amplifier ear muffs.I tested them out on his ranch while hunting & you could hear cows chewing 200 yards away while still offering hearing protection. We could also directionally locate feral goat herds in the hills by their calls, which we could otherwise not hear. This was to be our new hunting tool.
Went into the cupboard after that first weekend & hasnt been used since.
