Kinda like asking, is crashing into a wall with you car at 80 mph easier on you than hitting it it @ 100?
You need to research the decibel levels of different caliber gunshots and the effect such acoustic trauma has on your hearing. Above 22 rimfire, it's all going to harm your hearing, whether you perceive it or not.

I met a fellow at the range. Police officer. I was shooting a 44 magnum and he told me about firing his 357 magnum, indoors, without hearing protection, in the line of duty. He never fully recovered his hearing after several years.

Actually, all this has now prompted me to put my electronic muffs next to my Glock 19/w/tac light. If a bump in the night awakens me and I have the time...............
