        Also wear ear plugs if you go to a concert! Went to a warehouse show recently and the music was SO FUCKING LOUD I couldn't imagine ppl could rawdog it with their ears but there were plenty of folks there doing so!!

          Plug for concert plugs. They’re not that expensive: https://www.etymotic.com/passive-hearing-protection/

          I want to protect my ears (getting minor tinnitus issues where I occasionally hear ringing) but I don't like things in my ears. Am I doomed?
