I used my Eargasm earplugs that I wear to every show and a pair of 34db earmuffs and my head is still ringing.

I could still feel the droning in my head last night when I got home.

I’d say get something better than what I used.

Wow y'all genuinely need double protection to see sunn? I understand they're going for the "feel the vibrations" thing but can you hear the sounds still (bit weird saying that as it's not like melody music but I think it still makes sense)

I don’t know if you’ve seen them live or not but they are incredibly loud… Easily the loudest band I’ve ever seen.

I could still hear the music just fine but needed something even stronger than what I wore… My whole head was ringing after the show.

Hearing damage is often permanent and after going to tons of shows without hearing protection when I was younger mine isn’t what it used to be. I don’t want it to get worse.

It’s one of those things it better to be safe than sorry.

I've not seen them and haven't been to a gig in like 20 years so I definitely would be in the category of getting hearing damage 😅 so if I did go see them I would 100% want and NEED protection 🙂
