Earplugs

Does anybody wear these to dance events?
I was reading about the amount of damage standing next to those speakers for hours do.
But wouldn't they sort of make the music dull mono tone sounding?

this is why i dont stand next to the speakers maybe a minute or 2 to feel that pounding bass, but not too long

not i - but i've seen people with them. my ears rung for about 10 hours after Austin Leeds on Friday night.

i tried wearing earplugs ... my problem was not with how the music sounded but that i couldnt hear what people were saying (i find that hard enough without earplugs)

I work in a factory too, so I must be doing a massive amount of damage.
I've seen heaps of people with them in lately

WHAT!!!... I CANT HEAR YOU!!!! WHATS IN THE BEAR CAGE?!!!! ;P hehehehehe

I can hear people I just can't talk, for some reason I have to hear myself speak to hold a conversation! :-b
