I don't agree with it, but it is to understand and be prepared for the sound of a shotgun being fired indoors. I know that it is extraordinarily loud, and it will certainly damage hearing, which is why I see a negligible benefit.
A friend who works as an armed security guards mentioned that some security guards would practice a few shots from a pistol without hearing protection so they would be prepared for the situation and not be distracted by the gunshot should a situation arise, but I am still wary of any gain that involves hearing loss.
