  1. Do you guys wear earplugs to gigs? I find them annoying because me singing drowns out the music. Then again, I want to listen to music for as long as I possibly can.

    We use these:

  4. If I was a big artist (dream out loud) I wouldn't care if someone was filming the concert, because they paid money to see me, and it's their choice on how they experience the concert.
  5. I don't wear earplugs myself, but I don't go to many concerts. I've never really had any issues apart from Wembley '09 when the sound was reverberating around the upper tier. I thought the ieTour was excellent, I had no ringing in my ears afterwards.
  6. Never wore earplugs to gigs and I go to quite a bit. I'm heading for tinnitus regardless.
  7. Exactly the same here.

    I sometimes experience a little buzz/shrillness when I scream loudly at a concert, like my eardrums are saturated both from the outside sound plus the sound of my own scream. Other than that, never experienced ear pain or ringing during/after a show.

    I never do, but I can tell you now that I'm middle aged, I can see it starting to take its toll. I always loved it loud, now I'm finding that I need loud to be even louder.

    Pardon?



    I have those musician style ear plugs, like Alvin posted. They lower the volume but the music sounds the same. Although for London 4 I only wore them for a few songs.

    I haven't had any ringing in my ears after any loud event though, 2 F1 races (1 race and 1 full weekend) and multiple airshows.

    Only weird thing about these earplugs is, that you can hear yourself "singing" :-) I had to get used to it, because it sounds really weird. But it's great - reduced noise and clear sound.

    Yeah, that's why I took them out. It's really weird.
