I've been a bit concerned about my hearing lately as it seems to have deteriorated a bit even though I don't often listen to music that loudly, although I am definitely guilty of listening for long periods. I don't mind mishearing what someone's saying and asking them to repeat it once, but any more than that and it becomes embarrassing.
To that end, I've stopped listening to music on the bus... as a result of having to compete with the engine, music which doesn't seem loud on the bus reveals itself to be quite loud as soon as you jump out. And I'm definitely going to buy some decent earplugs before the ISIS concert this time round, instead of trying to use shitty ineffective $2 earplugs.
