For a lens as wide as the 9-18, a lens hood isn't going to block much stray light, but I had an expensive lens saved by a lens hood when the camera and lens fell off a table onto a concrete floor. The lens hood died, but the lens lived on. Hence, I will continue my practice of having a lens hood on every lens I have. Lens hoods do more than block stray light! They also provide protection from impact damage.

Great companion to the Olympus 9-18 F4-5.6 wide angle zoom, only criticism is that it is a bit pricey. About time Olympus provided a lens pouch and lens hood with ALL their lenses.
