Earplugs at concerts back in the day

Anybody else smart enough to save their ears back in the 60’s-the 80’s?I’d usually put a pair in, and pulled or pushed them to a depth that allowed me to hear (most) everything. My friends laughed. I didn’t care.
Thank God I did! I’m 67 now and still have perfect hearing. Way up in the highest registers as well (according to my daughter and some app she had me listen to).

I started shoving tissue in my ears 25 years or so ago at concerts.  Then about 20 years ago I had forgot some at a Heart concert at Universal Studios.  Huge mistake not running to the toilet and grabbing some TP and shoving it in.  Huge.  Loudest thing I was ever at.  I always put tissue in after that but the affect/damage had been done that night.  For the last few years I have been using Etymotic ear plugs.  They work fine and after about 20-30 mins of the show I basically don't care that they are in.
