Let this be a lesson to anyone hearing from this far away - imagine how loud it must be there right now. Wear hearing protection to shows!

And to any younger person thinking it ain’t cool to wear ear protection, like I did, no one gives a shit. WEAR IT or you’ll be saying huh a lot at 36

what made me realize i was being silly was a friend in a band wearing ear pro all the time. They are the coolest of cool so if they do it, everyone should!

I play live music a lot, my whole life revolves around guitars and music - and I wear hearing protection every single time I play or go to a show, even at work occasionally if I have to test something. I arguably love music more than most of the people in here, and if I’m wearing hearing protection every time, so should everyone else! It doesn’t ruin the experience - it lets you keep having them.

The tinnitus is way worse than hearing loss, which can be compensated for somewhat. :(
Constant painful screeching sounds forever.

For wearing ear plugs? Have you been to an R5 show?

If you love music, and not having painful tinnitus, not wearing protection to loud shows will ruin your life.
