You can get ear plugs. Go to Walmart to sporting goods and they have small ear plugs that shooters use. $4 for 32.
I discovered this many years ago. I went to a lot of concerts in the 70's, Deep Purple in '72 doing Child in Time was unreal and probably Journey with Steve Perry in 1980 was the loudest, very high pitched especially Steve's vocals and the keyboards. However, it wasn't until 1984 when I saw Def Leppard on the Pyromania Tour with Krokus opening that I had noticed a hearing problem, everything sounded muffled afterwards for 3 days. Ever since then when I go to a concert I take ear plugs. I don't always use them, depends on where I'm sitting, I still have great hearing at age 69. I sat in the front row of Mickey Thomas and Starship last year at Savannah Center, the sound was perfect without the plugs.
