90% of my hunting successes are because I heard the animal coming, 97% of my hunting is at night. Pigs and varmints.
I have always had excellent hearing, so, I may not have noticed any damage done by hunting without hearing protection.
I use my hearing to my advantage and position myself near hay covered ground or other such items.
I am grateful for the fact that my hearing is still good. I have always been exposed to high noise industrial environments plus several years in the army.
I would be terrified you hunt in the dark with bad hearing.
