Even Pete Townshend says that the hearing damage occurred not from performing, but from playing/listening on headphones.
Beware of those insidious devices.
Also, you might consider attending more concerts of un-amplified music, and less of the amplified variety. A good mix of the two is a good thing.
I still like the rock show, but I probably spend more time at Orchestra Hall (Chicago) now that I'm getting old (39) and don't enjoy up to 3 days of ringing in my ears (which happened once after a Bob Mould show).
I also second the motion that you run, don't walk, to a doctor for a check of your hearing. We all suffer hearing loss as we age, but for most it's gradual and you don't really notice it too much.
Cheers, and good luck.
