I wouldn't make a habit of repeitive shooting without hearing protection though.

Yes, if I perceived I had time, and it would be my electronic muffs that amplify low energy sounds and shut a noise gate when I shoot. I've lost a lot of hearing over the years (loud machinery and insufficient protection while shooting) and the amplification is a HUGE benefit.
