My wife and I both hang ear muffs over our headboard, but there's no guarantee we'd have time to put them on. Plus we have three small dogs in the room with us, and we don't want three deaf dogs.

One way to mitigate that (if you live in a state that allows it ) is to suppress your rifle. I ordered a Saker for my 11.5" AR, and while it is still not quite safe to shoot without hearing protection, you won't get your bell rung like you will an unsuppressed rifle...
