Hearing loss
Rebourne:
hmmmm... I might see a doctor if I were you te see if there was any damage or if it was acctually a disease or something. You never know what is going on and it's better to catch it early when you can do something about it.
Also you can get musicians ear plugs specifically made for you at the doctor, they lower the decibles but keep the frequencies in tack for the most part. Their great I use them a lot for long practices and playing loud shows. Without them I would probally be deaf now.
Thrillho:
My first real gig was to see Muse at the local Ice Arena. It's the loudest thing I've ever been to, and I have a permament (if mild) case of tinnitus now based on that one gig because I didn't take earplugs.
Look after your ears, motherfuckers.
BeoPuppy:
Plus, concerts sound better at a lower volume. There's just more distinction to the mix. I find.
penpen17:
Depends on who you're going to see. I saw Mogwai live, without earplugs, and it was SO worth the massive hearing loss. Personally, I have naturally bad hearing, use headphones constantly, and will probably require a hearing aid by the time I'm 40. I'll just have to deal.

I'll probably ask a doctor about it some time. I'll bring earplugs to the Sonic Youth/Go! Team show as well, since I don't know how loud it will be.
One more question: is there any easily available and not too expensive equipment that I could use to measure how loud my speakers are? I can tell if something is ridiculously loud or not, but I couldn't guess at any numbers.
