i was wondering, did band members using ear protection doing live acts, seems like Maxim have one, but Liam and Keith ?
Im asking becouse after their gigs, am always have 3 days deaf, so if they doing so much live gigs it must be dangerous for their ears, or they have titanium drumear

I think Maxim wears ear dubs...

I would imagine so, it's probably got the monitors playing through them as well. Most bands have ear pieces/protection, you'll be mad not to. Personally i'd like to still hear the music in latter life as well as now!

Wow! I dont't think about this.
Think they have got some kind of ear plugs or something like that. Hmm... or they are hardcores and don't use that "toys for youths".

Loads of artists use in-ear monitoring that dampens the sound from the PA. Not exactly a secret that many artists suffer from tinnitus...

Got my moulded earpieces last year. Cost me round 80 euros, but worth every bit of it. Doesn´t work like "ordinary" foam ear plugs that muffles the sound. Moulded ones just lower the dB level without distorting the sound. Great investment for artists and concert goers that actually plans on hearing when they "grow up"

I have some ACS ER-20 moulded plugs, which are great for gigs and use on my motorbike.
Gotta look after your lugs!

I believe that the boys use these too (well, ACS claim they do)
