Very interesting thread, thank you! Espencially I find it interesting that Bjornulf did his master degree on the subject. He often mentions the stapedus muscle in this thread, which protects the ear from getting damaged for about two hours.
Read that thread, lots of good advice in it.

EVERYONE should invest in a nice pair of quality ear protection.
The $5.00-$10.00-$30.00-$100.00 you spend protects one of your keys senses.
If/when you damage your ear, IT DOES NOT HEAL! It stays damaged for life.
Take the pair of ear protection to EVERY concert, keep them in your pocket.
If/when it becomes louder than your body is telling you is OK, put them in.
Feel free to remove them often at a show or for quiet songs, in/out/in/out is OK
Feel free to only have one of them in... the ear facing amps.
Feel free to alternate having only one ear protected and then the other, back and forth.

This! I have the same kind as STG and while I don't have both of them in through whole shows,
I sure am glad I invested in them. Recommended!

Another vote for the etymotic ear plugs - I've always got them with me at a concert, but don't use them unless I find the volume is distorting the sound - and then it's actually better with them.

Would never go to a concert with air plugs, either you go or not.
