if you're not playing shows or rehearsing very often (more than once or twice a week) then i guess it's not as big a deal to wear earplugs... though think of it like this:
imagine every time you had rough sex, your dick got slowly damaged and the harder you fucked, the more damaged it got and eventually, your dick would simply fall off and all you would have to do to protect it would be to wear a condom...
long story short: fucking with your ears is like fucking with your dick.

Seconded. Also: ridiculous good advice.

It's not a choice, folks...it just has to be done. Even the garden-variety foam cones work well enough; they mess with the mix a bit, and you have to shove 'em in and pull 'em back out slowly to adjust, but = no deafness. Plus, it just lets you play even louder...
Still bums me out when some steakhead looks at me like I'm a pussy b/c I shove plugs in my ears at shows.

Patience friend. Wait some time, and you can call him whatever you like, straight to his face, and unless he's learned to lip read, you'll get away with it.

Very common reaction to plugs, don't know why. Oh wait, yeah I do.
People are fucking stupid, bottom line.

yes! they are fantastic and for the price *$12 you cant beat em! We also always have free cheepo foam earplugs to giveaway at our shows. we don't aspire to loudness for loudness sake, but sometimes they club or the soundguy cranks it, especially in larger venues.
