I don't have an HMR but I have been beside someone shooting one and it seemed pretty loud. Like ear plugs loud. 

I have a model 94 Winchester in 22 Magnum and I have shot it quite a bit without ear plugs. That might very well have contributed to me getting hearing aids at the age of 50 but it didn't seem all that loud. 

I have shot hundreds maybe even thousands of .22LR with no hearing protection during the weekend of MYGAWDS. It didn't seem to bother me at all. 

I'm thinking that for a slow walking through the woods gun a .22LR might be a good choice. Depending on what you might be shooting at.

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

SHHHHHHHH!!!! My wife still thinks it's because of all years of construction and steel work!

Could partly be selective, but lets not ponder. Protection is always a good idea...I have six kids, I figured it out!
...oh yeah! thats gonna hurt!
