Earplugs at Concerts, Do you wear them? Options

[sherocker]

I always get kinda freaked out though, cause after show, I can't hear a fucking thing. I'm always scared my hearing won't return.

that's just frickin' horrible...

what kind of earplugs do u use by the way? special ones or the kind u can buy at the drugstore?

[mrmcpheezy]

Just regular ones. I always forget to get some before the show, but they're usually passed out by different groups at the venue.

Have fun losing your sense of hearing.

Been to a hell of a lot of concerts the past 20 years.......and so far so good ....nothing wrong yet.

.......so I'll take my chances ......thanks !

Tinitus is a permanent condition without a cure. Be careful, it only takes a few decibels above the recomended level for your eardrums to be damaged forever and then you've got that constant rining in your ears which can drive some people to suicide. I think there was recently a case where a guy was the first person ever to sue a nightclub for not warning him that they play music well-over a certain decibel level and he won.

Hey...how deep are Live's pockets???

Are you fucking kidding me? This is nearly as bad as the people that sued those fast food places for making them fat. Stupid fucks.

I don't know. There's this group that does it at most of the shows I've been to, but I forget what they're called.

Holland is not the United States. No further proof is needed.

Since my right ear is kinda screwed over due to many earinfections as a child and tends to pop easily... I tend to use them earplugs...

however not as much as I should..last friday I was at a gig, thought I'd put em in and by that time (I was close to the subwoofer) my ear had already popped. Too late!
So I didnt bother to put em in.

Depends on the music as well. for an acoustic thing there's no need to wear em.... for some cruel hardrock, depends on where I am at the venue, close to the wooferthingy or somewhere in the back or something.

As long as it's my right ear I dont mind... I dont have that much hearing in that one anyways... HAHAHA

I might be going to the FAmily Values Tour this year (I HATE KORN THOUGH) specifically to see Dir en grey and Flyleaf. Dir en grey has the tendancy to play LOUD so it looks like I might have to have earplugs there. Not sure yet though.

[mrmcpheezy]

hahaha.

family values.

lol.

[beau99]

Yeah, I know.

If Dir en grey weren't playing on that tour, there'd be no way I'd even be caught dead there. But since they're from Japan, it's not like I can go to one of their shows all the time.
