Jonutarr, please do use hearing protection. I have an uncle who went deaf at 45 years old. He did lots of hunting here in Texas in his youth.
For what its worth, hearing aids will not fix this kind of hearing damage.

I have been using these for the last couple of years.

You can hear normal conversation but it blocks gunfire sound.

They cost about $10.

I have a pair of the Tactical 7S electronic muffs, but I always end up
using the $10 ones.
