Speaking as someone who only started wearing earplugs last year (Dream Theater, best decision of my life. The first time I ever came out of a concert without ringing ears, been wearing them ever since), why doesn't every concert, or at the very least every rock/metal concert, make a huge deal about earplugs? As in they should put a warning on listings, be selling them in the foyer (I know some clubs do), because essentially every one of these concerts people go to without them are destroying their hearing, that's not hyperbole, that's fact. People laugh it off because the ringing goes away after a day or so. But don't people know that the ringing means they have damaged their ears, even if it is only a little bit each time?
