Great advice. One thing I do is keep ear plugs in my wallet. If I find myself in a loud situation I have protection. I wear ear plugs at every concert I attend. Not having ringing ears afterwards and not cringing while the band plays is great.

On a sort of related note: Don't keep condoms in your wallet. They wear out from all the stress and might make you a parent.

Excellent read. Wish I'd had/taken some of this advice when I was young. I have tinnitus now, and it sucks.

His advice about dynamics is wise, regardless of one's hearing ability.
