Well, in my experience no. But if your permanently at a 2/3 on your scale. That's pretty solid. Usually that type of noise damage is unfortunately permanent.. I had mine blown at a show as kid, wasn't aware of ear plugs. I always keep them on to keep it a manageable level for me. It works.

Metal bands are extremely loud. I wear the 33 db plugs and muffs. Also depends on the band...I wouldn't wear anything less, I go frequent enough. Even the bands not playing ridiculously loud I hear just fine. I'd say, screw the musician plugs. The best protection is a deeply inserted foam...

I've had tinnitus for over a decade.. been to dozen of metal shows(I mean real hardcore death metal in small venues) I've personally been fine wearing the foam plugs properly inserted and when I feel it is too loud I put the muffs over, which usually dampens the bass a tad. Though to be honest I...

I always find doing stuff I enjoy masks it pretty well even when I should be hearing it.. I love lifting weights, lol the gym is noisy so I wouldn't hear it anyways. But, on the quiter side, I love to draw and read and I don't notice it the unless I look for it. I play guitar and listen to a lot...

I suppose, but I don't see why you can't just limit yourself if you still enjoy it to maybe a round and just keep your protection on while others are shooting. I doubt your shooting around for hours on end.

If you didn't notice anything I say your fine. Anxiety only makes it worse. It's only a few shots and with double protection I wouldn't worry.

It really does take a long time, took me about a year and every time it spikes I have to get used to it again.

Yeah I noticed certain bands play extra loud. Bfmv doesn't surprise me, it is probably because their music isn't very good. I've seen 5 smaller, yet well known death metal bands last year and they sure didn't crank it, I don't even think I had inserted my plugs properly (but i wear muffs over...

I understand that! I am always too tired, only exception is for a favorite band, so one or two a year. I never tried the musician plugs, I don't mind the foamies (guess that saves me money at least)

AC/DC would be fun to see live!

My doctor told me foam are better. I wear the 33 db ones, and I still enjoy it, and I wear the muffs over it. I think it is so loud you really can't kill the sound. If you wear the muffs over them, you muffle the sound a lot, because I think it blocks the lows a lot more, but I don't find it...

It was super loud, but foam plugs are great and I wear muffs over them..personally though I think the foams plugs alone would have been fine.

Anyone see any good shows lately or are planning on seeing some soon?? I just saw Slipknot for the first time, it was a blast! Not so much my thing now, but still had a good time :)

Ghost in the shell...yeah, I'm a nerd and thrown in ninja scroll and mononoke :)

Yes. I have to wear plugs or it will ring louder for a week or so.

I know, I just get nervous regardless.

I bet! It seems like the metalcore scene tends to be louder than the death shows I have been to. Maybe it's an age thing and the younger bands play a hell of a lot louder.. Did you wear any plugs?? Yeah, I got mine from a show I went to with a friend. I only cared for the main act, but we went...

Yes, I have done that with the past two shows I wanted to attend.I just have a lot of anxiety lately with my ears and I ended up not going. Metalcore did me in as well. I didn't notice anything after. My first show was pagan fest last feb. And I saw four bands, went to a smaller venue later and...

7 years. I think k it got better, after a few months initially. Had flare ups when I was learning how to protect my hearing, but with rest it died back down. It never will subside, I just learned how to deal with hearing constant noise and hope it doesn't get any worse.

My remedy for concerts Cheap 33 db foam(I use hearos, but any other are fine) and 3m earmuffs. Yeah, it looks embarrassing but after you put them on and the show starts you forget about it. Stand in the back and not the front. \m/

I love my hearos foam plugs, but i am not a musician. They are great for loud shows, which I think are to loud to start. My ent said the the molded plugs weren't any better than the foam ones. Audiologist tells you that so he can make money more than likely. I guess less overall protection for...

Same cause for my tinnitus.. I have been two extreme metal shows in the past year in small venues. I wore heearos extreme foam plugs and 3m ear muffs. Both whic are 33 db reduction, thought the effect is not additive. Stay in the back away from the speaker. I would personally say those are...

I agree, it is crazy. I love music, guess not many others do as well. It is a lot safer to play your own music, even imitating the styles of your favorite musicians is fun.

Let me hear how those molds work for you. I usually use the foam plugs and have heard mixed reviews on the molded plugs.

Electric is great loud for full distortion, but I find I can enjoy it at low volumes. Actually my acoustic being strummed is louder then when I put it on a more metal setting with a higher gain and volume, though I still use dual ear protection for anything over 70 db. I try to keep the amp...

I only go about once a year, but I probably might wear them if I see an action flick. My ears aren't to bad at them.

I think so, I keep mine on a notch or two and haven't noticed a problem. Though i think investing in some noise canceling over the ear ones are best.

It's annoying, I agree. I had to study in the coffee shop area, it had some foot traffic and a little noise which was good at masking the tinnitus, but not enough to distract me. I am pretty good at tunning mine out, so I didn't have much of a problem even when I did notice it on the quite part...

Yes, especially if they have a live band. If it's a regular church, with a choir and piano, your probably fine.

Not sure you can get accurate decibels like that..anyways I keep mine on the lowest volume setting as possible and can still hear it fine. Use over the ear ones, not the buds..noise canceling is best if you can afford it.

Bars and loud restaurants I wear plugs Football games plugs Concerts plugs and muffs Jamming on guitar plugs, muffs, or both depending Used to wear them at the movies, but I only do that now if the volume is really loud.

My one ear always changes pitch and volume constantly, it is almost like it has two tones going at once. My other ear is pretty consistently one tone.. I think my tone changing ear was closest to amp at a show. I think it is probably normal, but it would be even more normal if you were exposed...

Go to a concert without any anxiety....of course with plugs still!

Anyone here still playing? I recently decided to learn to play guitar, and I have noise induced tinnitus. I have both an acoustic and electric. I personally think the noise of the acoustic is to loud and doesn't exactly sound good when you play metal on it :) I much rather play unplugged, or...

My tinnitus was caused by an atreyu concert back in 2007. It hasn't gone away, but it has gotten much better over the years. Now it is just mostly a low pitched drone with a few spikes now and then. It is permanent damage to your hair cells, unfortunately I don't think it will go away if it...

Just curious about this. I have noise induced tinnitus since I was 17 from attending a metal concert in the front row for 4 hrs (I didn't realize you could damage your ears at the time) As in a young adult, I really noticed how much I missed music. I have attended two metal concerts (3-4hrs in...
