In a sense, MSD is absolutely correct. Do NOT fire that round without hearing protection at an indoor range, however, DO take that shotgun out to a hunting area or open range and fire it without hearing protection at least once. Then, take that sound that you hear and multiply it by 5 and that is what you'll be hearing if you ever have to fire that thing inside. Just be prepared.
