Plus I've shot everything from a .22 short on up to a .338 magnum. I've had more then one rifle triggered while the mussel was adjacent to my ear and although it hurt like crazy my hearing is still not too bad.
Just how much of an issue is an unsilenced gun?
Hey, if you want to use one, go for it. But I don't see the need for me to have one.

Well on my yearly hearing tests when I was on the team shooting 100,000s of rounds a year even protected they could see a loss in hearing.
I totally support your choice not to. But I'd say when they are legal you might be surprised how much you like them. If you still don't want one then that's fine, but I do. I'd have them on every rifle I own.
