Funny you mention the hearing loss, I have major hearing issues and it is due to too many JP (and other) concerts but mostly JP. Back in the ealy 80's the had very little retrictions on both noise & pyro technics.
After the Turbo concert(JP Live tape) my ears rang for 3 days. My friend I took (who was one of my soccer buddies & parents never let her do anything) her Mom took her to the Dr. because of it, no joke
My Mom laughed but could not believe they let her go with me in the first place.
Long Story short I drive my parent, daughter & my boss nuts because I can't hear & talk loud
I recommend earplugs but don't wear them myself. I have Savannah where them. In fact we are doing double for this show since we will be close. The squishy ones and then I'm going to Home Depot and get the over the ear ones, just in case
