Nope. If anything its more so because you are used to it and your hearing is just gradually becoming less sensitive. This is why it is so hard to advocate earplugs. It's a gradual thing and you cant all of the sudden be like "oh crap I wished I used them". If you were in an explosion or behind a jet, you'll feel the effects so fast you'll be covering your ears with anything you can get your hand on but since it is so mild and gradual that the effects arent felt till it's too late.
It's nothing that other posters havent said yet and even if you were to wear them now, and preserve your hearing, you wont be thinking "oh hey i should thank those people for forcing me to wear earplugs" because you still have your hearing. It's an "after the fact" type of advice.
Similar to wearing riding pants or boots... before you put them on, you might feel like it is unnecessary but once you hit the ground, boy do you wish you listened. Goodluck and stay safe.
