To be honest, I'd rather go to a loud show with earplugs than a quiet show without. Half the fun of a live show is the visceral punch of the literal sound waves.

Also covers the sound of people talking during concert (sometimes I wonder if it's intentional).

(another happy user of etymotics earplugs, was life changing for concert experience)

Having said that, earplugs can't protect against lower frequencies (that bass through the bone, rather than the air).

Because of this, even with ear protection, damage still occurs at clubs/concerts.
