What's harder on the ears?
The pop of the fast burning powder in light weight loads or the crack of the supersonic light bullet?
Does it makes sense to carry a round that is just slightly slower than the speed of sound to prevent hearing damage?

All handgun rounds will damage your hearing if you lack hearing protection.
A few decible reduction does not put in safe territory.
Check the link below to get an idea of the level of sound pressure of many firearms cartridges.
