Just wanted to say thankyou for passing on the good preserving hearing word. The RNID is trying to do awareness campaigns see their website for more details if you are interested. I think the RNID is all well and good, but hearing recommendations for earplugs from people like yourself who obviously appreciate and enjoy music will have a much greater impact.

I don't usually go to loud places, it isn't worth the pain for me. I have the advantage that I can lipread and turn my hearing aid off. Hearing people don't have that option. I have been known to get tinnitus from the occasional gig that I attend. REM was worth it, but I wouldn't do it too often.

My partner who is hearing has a pair of earplugs similar to what you describe, for her it's the difference between her ears clipping (like a speaker clipping) and being able to go to the occasional gig.
