It'll be louder for sure. Having just purchased hearing aids and being scolded by the audiologist, I'd say use protection. BTW, I've never used protection except at the rifle range and when shooting sporting clays. Maybe paying for that now. Still, I will never wear hearing protection when hunting squirrels with a .22.
As a general rule I wear hearing pro anytime I’m target shooting of any kind. On a public or private range. But It’s hard to get used to it while hunting, It feels too clinical.
