You should wear hearing protection every single time you fire a rifle with a brake on it including when you are hunting.

WhenI am at the range and someone sits down next to me with a brake on their rifle I double up on my hearing protection with plugs and muffs no matter if they are shooting a .223 or a 300 ultra mag. They are all extremely loud.
Muzzle brakes are extremely loud. A good recoil pad does wonders with recoil. Using a heavier rifle also makes a big difference. A brake is nice for the range but I remove them in the woods every time. I would rather take the full recoil over a damaged ear when hunting.
