Get them real, nice, earplugs. like $20+
I use LiveMusic HearSafe plugs and refuse to go to shows without them ever since

https://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Comfortable/dp/B00H2F87I8

And as soon as I my subs in my car working again, I guarantee I will be using them in my car also.

Doesnt affect the mix of the sound, can still talk with them in...

You can even still FEEL the bass on your body, but it is no longer actually literally shaking your ear drums.

The reason I posted this is because of personal experience. I developed tinnitus last year due to a perforated eardrum surgery (surgery went well besides the tinnitus...) and after surgery I not only have experienced tinnitus but also sensitivity. I can't be at a party, a bar, or even a friend's house sometimes without wearing earplugs. It's fucking depressing and I don't want anybody else to have to go through this. My other ear which is also perforated has now developed tinnitus as well. It is one of the most depressing things in the world especially since I am currently in school studying to enter the music industry. (non-musician side)

It's hard for anybody to not want to turn their music up loud and jam out or go to a ton of concerts. In fact it's pretty unavoidable. What you can do though is get a pair of nice earplugs. Not the foam kind even though those do work they just muffle sound. The kind I'm talking about can in fact improve your concert experience and they allow you to hear what's important (the music) and you can still carry on a conservation with them in! I'll be honest they weren't the best pair for me in the last live event I was at. I was at a house show and the speakers are right there next to you so that on top of my sensitivity was probably what did it. They do have higher level protection though. [Here's] (http://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Hypoallergenic/dp/B00H2F87I8) a link if anybody is interested!

at most concert you should wear an earplug to reduce the loudness

example

I took my son at 7 years old to a Babymetal concert in seated area. Assuming an indoor concert, Just bring some good ear plugs (not the cheap foam ones), something like this or this in addition to this (yes both plugs and headphones). It can be VERY LOUD, and painful for young kids especially without proper ear protection. If it's a festival, then just headphones are probably adequate.

Once you have that, they will have a good time. I wouldn't take them on the floor though, unless you're near the back or sides because there can be some big crushes going on at times near the middle and front.

First things first, it'll get hot with a lot of bodies around; come prepared with a bottle to fill up with water. Trust me on this. Secondly, people will try to get in front of you, even/especially if you're at the very front; be prepared for that and don't be afraid to say no to it. Lastly, I would recommend getting to the stage Muse is playing at at least 3 or 4 bands beforehand if you want to be at the very front.

In addition to all this, I would HIGHLY recommend earplugs such as these: LiveMus!c HearSafe Ear Plugs with Silicone Triple Flange and Noise-Cancelling - Standard https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H2F87I8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_hOgKkfco6blcx

I have tinnitus and it SUCKS (have to sleep with a fan on and studying is always tough.) Being at a music festival all day is one of the fastest ways to ruin your hearing since the sound is meant to project a lot farther than a typical concert. Your hearing isn't invincible so protect it!

These are the kind I use. I bought them before edclv 2016 and have used them several times. I also like the metal container they come in. I can hook it to my belt loop or my hydration pack.

Just invest in a decent pair

These are the ones I bought and work like a charm for me.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H2F87I8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_U8BXzb8789BA2

[These] (https://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Noise-Cancelling/dp/B00H2F87I8) are awesome. Let you hear a good amount but block the high frequencies which will fuck your ears.

Those aren't great, but are better than nothing.
I've been happy with these, although you can definitely get a set that's better quality, if usually more expensive.

No one asked. But here's what I use at festivals and shows. No difference in music quality, just simply lowers the decibel levels.

I got these and they work really well

http://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Comfortable/dp/B00H2F87I8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

Don't get the cheap ones. A good pair goes for $15 ish on Amazon and they are extremely comfortable and designed to keep the sound clean while protecting your ears. No muffling

These are the ones that are $15 a pair and worked great for me so far: Live Music Hear Safe Earplugs

These are more expensive but came highly recommended on this sub: earasers

i get tinnitis easily and love these, ever since i started wearing them, no more tinnitis after shows: https://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Silicone-Triple-Noise-Cancelling/dp/B00H2F87I8/ref=sr_1_50?ie=UTF8&qid=1492450738&sr=8-50-spons&keywords=ear%2Bbuds%2Bfor%2Bmusicians&th=1

I commute daily (40 mi roundtrip) and just got a pair of LiveMusic Hear Safes. Been using them the last few days. Pretty decent - engine, road & wind noise is way muffled, sound from my Cardo bluetooth thingy comes through crystal clear. Major improvement, I feel like an idiot for not getting plugs sooner.

I use these, in conjunction with my Sena headset. Music sounds really good, almost no wind noise, and I can still hear important sounds in the environment.

These are great, but I'd recommend getting a little case to attach to your keychain (i.e. https://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Noise-Cancelling/dp/B00H2F87I8?th=1)

There are earplugs out there such as these bad boys that are designed to muffle the sound as little as possible, and I'd say most tend to do a pretty good job and give a fairly clear sound compared to regular plugs. If you're worried about missing anything, pick something like those up.

I use these by L!veMusic, specifically the 29db variant. When I have them in, it doesn't seem like it's doing anything but as soon as I try to ride without them the difference is completely obvious. That's exactly what they should be doing; it means I can still hear things I need to without going deaf from wind noise.

Incidentally they also work great for a number of other loud situations, like concerts and cutting down trees.

Edit: Worth noting, some states have laws that make ear plugs over certain db ratings illegal, if I remember correctly. Worth being aware of. Personally, I use them anyways; cops usually don't care and I'll take a fine over going deaf.

I personally use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2F87I8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not only do they save your hearing, they make the sound better by removing a lot of the noise that comes through in open-air sets.

It's the wind that'll do you in. No matter what helmet brand or type you wear, your ears are gonna suffer from the wind.

You can buy different types of earplugs. But the two real stars are either Howard Leight earplugs or musician earplugs. They don't "plug" your ears like the first pair do but instead feel like you just turned the real world's volume knob down, because musicians need to hear perfectly what they are playing. I'd try out Ear Peace or LiveMusic HearSafe :)

I would highly recommend custom plugs. Until then look at these:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I5DUD8W?th=1

I went with

LiveMus!c HearSafe Ear Plugs - High Fidelity Earplugs for Musician, Concert, Drummer, Percussion, DJ & Clubbing - Reusable, Comfortable & Silicone Triple Flange - Protection from Loud Sounds, Noise-Cancelling, Lifetime Guarantee (Standard Size) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H2F87I8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1ZYgybTVMJ9XH

I lost them on the last day but they were great

I think it's worth noting that you want noise attenuating ear plugs. Attenuating ear plugs don't kill the quality of the sound, but bring down the decibels that wreak havoc on your ear drums. These are the ones I use. LINK They are $30 for a couple pairs. Super worth it.

/u/cochon1010 I can attest to the EarPeace HD. I'm a jazz & funk sax player, and often sit in front of a ton of brass, as well as drums & amps, etc. My hearing as of late has been more sensitive and I'm still young, so I gotta be careful. I went and saw Tower of Power in a very small expo center and they were SUPER LOUD. Had my earplugs in, and they really saved my hearing AND I could still hear clearly. Worth the $20. I just keep 'em on my belt loop everyday, all day.
another pair worth considering: [L!veMusic HearSafe] (http://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Comfortable/dp/B00H2F87I8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1450336559&sr=8-3&keywords=concert+earplugs)

The only thing to consider w/ these is that they're separate plugs for different decibel reduction amounts; with the EarPeace, they have little inserts (red and flesh) that you swap out depending on how much reduction you want to happen.

This is a real tragedy. But man, dont blame yourself. Carry on. Tell people about hearing loss and countermeasures. There are lot's of celebs with hearing loss problems...
https://noisecountermeasures.com/celebs-with-tinitus.html
SO don't panic, your life is not ruined. Educate others. Tell them that they should avoid noise exposure or protect their hearing.
For example when you attend loud concerts you should use earplugs with audio filters. And you should consider Frequency reduction values table. I made a research on this theme not so long ago. Here is the table for ~$20-30 earplugs for concerts:

|Vendor Average reduction Value|125 HZ|250 HZ|500 HZ|1000HZ|2000HZ|4000HZ|8000HZ|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|

My entire concert going friend group endorses these plugs. They preserve the music quality very well (worn from punk, to metal, to techno-right-by-subwoofer moments) and come with two sets of plugs of different loudness reduction. The music quality thing is no joke, it's really had to make cheap, good earplugs because humans interpret the same frequency at different volumes as different loudnesses.

https://www.amazon.com/LiveMus-HearSafe-Ear-Plugs-Noise-Cancelling/dp/B00H2F87I8

This is the set I have and they work well for me.

I use these LiveMus!c earplugs. Works great and very comfortable.

I've only had experience with these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H2F87I8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_SssDybW09T4ND

Nothing is going to by as accurate as your own ears of course, but these are much less muffled sounding so you can understand speech better.

I just started riding about 3 weeks ago. I didn't think wind noise was a real issue what so ever. I routinely came home from riding with intense headaches and neck aches. Read the advice here about 5 days ago a and ordered a good pair that reduces I think 29db. Been using them for 2 days and my 70+ mph ride is SO comfortable. I also no longer have a headache when I get home. I don't know why I didn't do this earlier. Simply amazing. Even if you don't care about hearing loss, care to make your ride more enjoyable. This may have saved my riding, was thinking I couldn't keep riding if I came hoes with intense headaches. 10/10 would highly recommend. Here are the ones I use keep em on my keychain.

I also bought a pair like these, but yours only blocks 20db

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2F87I8/

Mine blocks 29db? Worthwhile to look into ones that block more sound I think. Your tips look cooler though, I wonder what the difference is?

They're absolutely great though. I keep it on my motorcycle key chain and just wash it with water whenever I need to. So cool that it's reusable

2. If you can get your hands on these, get them.
   
   LiveMus!c HearSafe Ear Plugs - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2F87I8
   
   This has the max NRR rating for commercially available earplugs, 29 dB. There are other earplugs but they tend to range from 13-22 db. I used to use 20db earplugs but my ears still rang for quite a while after. No longer have that problem after switching to these.
   
   Take breaks to give your ears a rest when at events and try your best to not worship the speaker (I know its hard.lol) This is the best thing you can do for your hearing.
   
   1,3,4,5 is all personal preference. Just play it by the ear.

I just bought some NRR 29 ear plugs:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00H2F87I8/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And a Sena SMH-5 for a 800 mile road trip to my new apartment and I'm already in heaven. The ear plugs are so comfy and round out the kind of tin-y sound of the speakers.

If you have over-the-ear headphones, you can put these in your ears, then put the headphones on over them. You could just use regular earplugs and get a somewhat similar effect, but these block all frequencies in roughly the same proportion, so music sounds normal through them, just quieter. So then you can really crank it, and it will just sound normal, but all of the hollering will be silent (or at least enormously reduced).

If and when you need a break from music, I strongly suggest Noisli. You can custom tailor it to exactly what kind of, and how much, noise interference you need. And you can dial just the type of interference you need to match your needs, and then save it as a preset. Then install the Noisli Chrome extension and call up any of your presets at a moment's notice. I have yet to encounter a sonic situation that couldn't be 100% neutralized by the combination of my earplugs and Noisli.

As a live sound engineer thats works 6 to 7 concerts a week, this is amazing advice. I'm personally a fan of this brand of earplugs.

These are also a good option. It comes with two pairs. 23db and 29db, plus a connecting string so you're less likely to lose them.

I have a pair just like those from a different vendor and they're great but for a less visible alternative try Earasers out. I think they may be a bit less protection but they're good for going to a loud restaurant/movie/social situation where you want your hearing protection less visible:

You should consider Frequency reduction values table. I made a little research on this theme, asking vendor for the frequency tables. Here is the table for ~$20-30 earplugs for musicians:

Vendor \ Average reduction Value | 125 HZ | 250 HZ | 500 HZ | 1000HZ | 2000HZ | 4000HZ | 8000HZ
---------|----------|----------|---------|--------|--------|---------|---------

Eargasm Earplugs | 14.7 | 14.8 | 16.8 | 20.3 | 24.3 | 21.4 | 25.7
Reverbs Earplugs | 14.1 | 13.9 | 15.2 | 18.7 | 22.2 | 18.3 | 22.1
LiveMus!c Earplugs | 13.5 | 13.5| 14.5 | 17.9 | 23.1 | 18.2 | 20.1
Surefire Defenders | 12.7 | 12.9 | 13.2 | 16.8 | 19.9 | 19.2 | 19.1

It can help to prevent .
You can find some other comparison for earplugs for gigs.

how about these? 29 db. How much noise reduction are we talking about? Would these do in front of speakers? I read somewhere that 6 db = 50% reduction in sound. These are 29 db.
