Default .44 Special vs .45 ACP for home defense

I used to keep a 629 Classic loaded with .44 Magnum Hydra-Shoks ready for home defense. It occurred to me that my hearing would be so damaged by firing a .44 magnum indoors that I wouldn't be able to hear them testify at my trial (or anything else ever again for that matter). So I switched to .45 ACP - less noise and a good reputation. But I really feel more confident with my wheel gun so I've been thinking about switching again, this time to .44 Special like Hornady Critical Defense or other similar load. What does the forum recommend regarding .45 ACP vs .44 Special for home defense? Thanks.
