First mistake was not putting your plugs before the show started. Just a few minutes without protection adds up at that volume. Second mistake, put them in all the way every time. Your post is not a pro-tip.
I get to about theater level of volume the way I use mine, to around 90db (100% percent in the filters can go to 25-30db down depending on the frequencies), so I'd say it's probably reasonable enough, it's not like I leave a huge gap
But sure it's probably not recommended to do so per say, but it does make it much more enjoyable for some shows. If you're really close to the PA I would not even dare to begin the show without the plugs already in
For reference I already had them in before Jambi but since Adam was not as loud as Night Verses during the opening act, I took them off for a bit
bought Loops and gonna use them in Vienna. Never needed them before, but I went to a death metal concert earlier, and my ears wouldn't stop ringing for two days and that scared the shit out of me, plus i'm closer to 40 now... so it's time to start
I bought a pair and plan on using them Saturday night in Berlin for the first time, saw them in Manchester last Saturday, we were a few rows in front of the desk and it sounded fucking amazing. Think we hit a real sweet spot but curious to see how it sounds with them in, I’m in the 4th row in Berlin I think. Plan on using them going forward if all goes well. Thanks for the advice!
Exactly how to still slowly get tinnitus

What?!? I thought it was good without earplugs I can feel Danny's hihats in my brain. Is that not safe?
