I have never seen someone other than the actual musicians wear earplugs at a concert. Maybe I just don't listen to the same music as you pussy rear end bitches that can't handle loud noise.

since conservatives seem to be such big fans of unnecessary bodily injury i propose we help them out and shoot them all

edit: while wearing proper hearing protection, that is

execute all conservatives, that's all im sayin. if you don't want to wear earplugs to the execution that's cool i guess

You can get some nice earplugs for like ten bucks. lowers everything equally, same frequency response but quieter.

around here it's not so much the sirens but the new horns on some of the firetrucks, they're absolutely insane and probably could cause some actual damage in certain circumstances

Go for broke, wear earplugs to classical concerts. To your daughter's piano recitals. Wear them loving everywhere, is what I'm saying

If you don't buy one of those helmets that holds beer cans in it, strap it to your head with air horns where the cans go, with the air horns rigged to go off non-stop 24/7, then you are a literal infant & may as well just roll over in your crib & suffocate to death.

actually (some?) audio engineering schools in europe pretty much point this out and talk about how its a huge problem in america and other places and how its retarded.

there's no loving need for half the speakers you see either, the volume and overkill literally does nothing but injure ears and look impressive

Legal limit for concerts is just 103 dB here (though it is frequently exceeded). Even 103 dB is probably not a good idea for several hours at a time.

One day I forgot my earplugs for an indoor concert so I crammed some toilet paper in there and had to have a doctor remove it a few days later when some bits didn't come out and my ear got infected.

concerts arent more enjoyable with earplugs. anyone who says that is a dweeb. plus arguably there are performances of music where the volume is as important to the experience of the work as any other aspect of the sound.

i have crushing tinnitus.

the performers you watch are all wearing earplugs an laughing at you
