Would suggest you invest in a suppressor to protect your ears no matter what calibre you choose. 308 is a great all round solution for open hunting and bush hunting, a wide range of ammo and excellent availability. I own a 7mm08 (tops hunting and longer range shooting) and 223 (bush hunting) and enjoy both. 7mm08, did suffer from ammo availability during covid and still not a huge range of production ammo on the shelves. 223, great availability of ammo. Both are excellent calibres and really enjoy using them. At a push the 223 is my favourite calibre, much lighter recoil and a joy therefore to shoot. Bigger isn't always better. Great shot placement is key on any calibre.
