The movie HEAT has pretty realistic gun sounds, but no one actually does guns as loud as they really are, because "This is THX. The audience is now deaf."

I ran through 58 rounds of 12ga the other weekend in the open, and it didn't bother my hearing too much.
Enclosed spaces will make you sick though. Well, that's how I felt when shooting from a porch when I was a kid.
Edit: Personally, I find pistols to be more unerving than a shotgun. My AK was loud, but not too bad.
