Pop a Pill, Save Your Hearing

powlow writes "People who've had their ears damaged by gunfire, jackhammers or punk rock have traditionally had two choices: get hearing aids, or suffer in silence. But a new set of drugs, about to be tested on Marine recruits, is showing promise as a way to protect ears against the din."

One factor that makes concerts more damaging is that consuming alcohol makes your ears more susceptable to damage. Wear your earplugs, folks! If you're that concerned about your appearance, get some flesh-coloured electronic suckers. I know it's badass to go see Motorhead without anything, but when your ears are ringing the next day, you've been through too much.
