I've never had any hearing problems firing shotguns or rifles out in the field while hunting.
Once, while at the shooting range with some friends, we were trying out a new section before it was open to the public. Each bay was separated from the others by a plywood sheet, meaning that when shooting you were enclosed on two sides (as well as above and below). A single shot from that bay had my ears hurting even through my ear protection (which admittedly, wasn't the best ear protection, but had been perfectly adequate for other parts of the range).
