Cymbals will wreck your ears like you wouldn't believe.

You know what's ironic, when you see that the musicians playing such loud music for you to hear are wearing ear plugs themselves. “Still, it’s kind of ironic when a band plays so loud that you have to wear earplugs and thus not hear their music as intended.”

The first time I tried these it was like turning on a light bulb. Not at all like regular foam earplugs. And they cost a tenth as much as the fitted version.

They're available in 15db and 25db reduction (or you can get filters for both). I would recommend the 25 db ones. They cost some $ but are worth it.

I wanted to hear what I sounded like so people listening to Linus wouldn't find it patently offensive or anything while I blithely (and deafly, if that's a word) kept doing my thing. But that was enough. Now my ears scream all the time, and I require fans or air conditioning units or ambient music to distract me from the sound. I actually hear they've got little things that look like hearing aids that help with tinnitus by essentially drowning it out with low-level harmless ambient noise, much like I do with the AC/fan/ambient music, but I'm thinking they're probably pretty expensive, and I'm still too foolishly vain to go walking around with what look like hearing aids in my ears. I just wear earplugs a lot more religiously now.
