Too many years of loud rock n roll mixed with being around jets in my military days I reckon. I do sometimes still catch a show if it’s at an outside venue but I always bring my ear protection. Trying to save what I got left, lol.

Same here (or hear?). Although, I did attend the Journey concert a few months ago and it wasn’t as loud as I anticipated. My tinnitus was fairly mild afterwards. That’s the first concert I had attended in decades. The high volume filler garbage at Jags games seemed louder.

I've chilled on attending music events as well.  I've found YouTube has a large selection of recorded concerts to which I can sit on the sofa and drink beer at a much lower price.  Also, I'm really sick of everyone that holds up their phone recording every song.  They will likely never watch those recordings and deem it necessary to record and take away from the true experience.
