All I can say is, when I left the building my ears hurt and were ringing like crazy. I didn't have earplugs, but when I covered my ears, I noticed that the music sounded clearer, less distorted. And your hearing CAN be damaged when exposed to high decibles for only short periods of time (hours, even minutes). I'd like to be able to hear Orbital 16 (the fuschia album) when it comes out in April, 2037.
