No, it's not. You may think it sounds "hearing safe", but medical science tells us otherwise. Feel free to not wear hearing protection, shooting with your silencer is a lot better than shooting un-suppressed and it will probably take a lot of shooting to have any noticeable hearing loss. But claiming that it's "hearing safe" is incorrect and irresponsible; this is a public forum and lots of people look for advice here.

A pneumatic framing nailer isn't "hearing safe" either, and it's loud enough to permanently damage your hearing over time. In fact, simply working the action or even just dry-firing some fireams produces a sound level over 100 dB, which is over the threshold for permanent hearing damage from repeated exposure.
