Or you could just not go. There's no reason other people should have to compensate for your sensitivity and lack of willingness to wear hearing protection.

- olyjohn 7y agoRight, I like the loud music. But I don't go very frequently at all. I've been to a handful of shows, and the loud ones are always better to me. My ears ring afterwards, I know it's bad for my hearing. If I went all the time I'd definitely bring earplugs. How many times do you have to go to loud concerts before you buy a set of earplugs? They even sell them at damn near every show I've been to, and disclaimers all over the place about the music being loud...
- debatem1 7y agoDon't buy the crappy foam ones, especially at the price they sell them for at venues. They make good ones that are intended for exactly this use case (earasers, eargasm, etc etc etc) and do the job really well. You can often find them on sale for around $15.
- lazyasciiart 7y agoWhat makes you think that I'm more sensitive than average, or that I'm not wearing earplugs? Perhaps you're just unfamiliar with this kind of live show in a bar.
- debatem1 7y agoGiven how difficult it is for a small band to make money, I don't think anyone who really cares about music should be telling folks to stay home.
