Hearing damage is cumulative. Every time you shoot you kill a few of those little hairs that vibrate from sound waves and send the signal to your brain.
It is amazing how loud even a .22 pistol can be. My ears were ringing for days once after shooting 6 rounds thru dad's 22 mag without protection, I won't do that again.
