lol hopefully firing the shotgun at intruders in an enclosed home setting doesn't occur often enough to be worried about the sound it produces, hearing loss or otherwise (to the neighbors: "don't mind me just blasting my shotgun at intruders again! nothing to worry about here!"). My impression is that the sound of the cocking mechanism in a shotgun is very desirable and will have perps. pretty much shitting their pants before a shot is even fired.
