    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.
  5. I never used earplugs. Used to be quite a concert visitor. Now i only go when i really want to see someone.

    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.


    Only ringing if I go to a punk/metal gig, or something like that. I experienced it after My Bloody Valentine and they're one of the loudest live bands out there. But it's rare.

    You went to see MBV? Oh man. Their 'Holocaust' section sounds nuts.
  9. Yeah, at the Barrowlands - renowned for being one of the best sounding venues in the world. The last part was crazy. Funny thing is, I was with my dad and he actually has tinnitus. His ears were buzzing for at least three days after.
