A few and you might be ok but a lot will screw them ears up.

I like a red dot .

I hear ya on red dots. Makes sense that it's faster. But the hearing loss situation would be different for a combat vet involved in repeated, unprotected, exposure to gun blast, over years, vs someone who always uses hearing protection at the range, but one time was involved in an indoor gunfight without hearing protection. I think it take lots of repeat exposure to have noticeable hearing loss.
