In 40 years of shooting, the only gun I've fired without ear protection is a .22LR in an open field. So, I ask anyone who has shot self defense calibers without ear protection, is the 40SW too loud?

US ARMY ARTILLERY 22 years.....Totally 100% deaf...finally got an implant that I rarely wear so my M&P .40 cant bother me...My M&P .45 dont either! BUT! I still have to wear ear plugs...It does bother my ears without them! Its the pressure!
For real though...Spend some bucks on hearing protection!....You DON'T want to be like me!
In an emergency...Home invasion....Who cares!
Wife and kids trump my hearing any day!
