The big thing argued with suppressors is that they just want them for hearing protection (guns ARE loud after all) – so I wonder if this would appease some people. Loud guns for the people who want loud guns, and some hearing protection for people who want hearing protection :D (okay okay, I’m being a LITTLE facetious)

What you describe is known as a linear compensator and is fairly common. It doesn’t reduce enough to protect the shooter’s hearing, but it does direct the blast forward reducing concussive forces felt by the shooter and increasing the noise and concussive force to those in front of the muzzle.
