Depends. With a .22 no. But when I take my 300wm out, the one with the brake, I wear a pair of muffs around my neck and put them on before the shot. I've only ever shot it twice without muffs, and both times I could feel the pressure for weeks. There's got to be some permanent hearing damage there.
Even if you think you're fine, you're not. Just wear the muffs.
