I was about 40 feet from the PA at the Manchester show. Since then I've worn ear plugs.

By that logic, people should where earplugs all the time.
live a little. if you go to one concert and lose your hearing... it must be genetic. otherwise, 20000 people would be suing U2 after every show.

I now have a very hard time going to sleep at night EVERY NIGHT because of the ringing in my head.
Earplugs should be worn at every show anyone goes to - no two ways about it - you cannot predict when tinnitus, or hearing loss will happen.
It could happen on one note!

I have been to a lot of concerts in my time, and finally after getting sick of not being able to hear after one, I decided to try them. I'm glad I did. Not only was there zero ringing in my ears after the show, but the clarity of the show astounded me. It was though I was listening to a soundboard recording the entire time. I heard every word, every musical note with pristine quality.
Try it sometime, if not for the quality, but for the safety of your hearing.
