I never did a BIG concert without them..
Smaller venues, and a good sound man, I’d pull the plugs. Most folks know it, but opening your mouth and jaw position, really help with HIGHER SPL.. There is a point, it’s to loud. The plug go back in, I walk away... I have no problem putting my fingers in my ears, and walking out..
Journey, early 80s, I just walked out with half the folks there, Winterland.
It was WAY to loud...
OP, It has paid me big time in my later years. I have good hearing, also.. 16K. + I have some sensitivity, nothing like I use to.. Had my heart fixed, that helped in the 2-3k range. I NEVER see my chest pumpin' or ears poppin', any more.. Good stuff..
Regards
