My ex bought us tickets to go see the Flaming Lips because that's our band. We're broken up now, but still going to the concert together tonight. I haven't been to a show since middle school and don't know shit about concerts. Is there anything I should know before going?

yeah I only do that kind of loud stuff occasionally, and I sometimes wear hearing protection, so it's not bad yet, but its going to be if I don't get better about it. Teaching kids how to use power tools has really helped remind me to use hearing protection, because I would feel terrible if I taught them habits that got them hurt, but I care less about myself, in the moment.

I don't want to be like my dad who's half deaf in one ear at not-that-old of an age and spent years denying there was anything wrong (or my grandpa who bought cheap amplifiers rather than properly tuned hearing aids and made his hearing much worse)

driving a convertible is one I don't hear many talk about but yeah, I had a car with no AC and a soft top and any drive at highway speed more than like 20 mins you really wanted earplugs for
