Yeah, you've damaged your hearing. But don't freak out about it because you likely won't notice the difference once the ringing has gone. Be more concerned about headphones. Those can be highly focused ear drum destroyers if used improperly.

That's true, I've probably injured my hears more with headphones, than actual concerts.
And I agree, wearing earplugs to concerts isn't the coolest thing around, but sometimes you can't avoid it. I was thinking more in situations like a club or bar, during an act you weren't there to see anyway.
I've seen a lot of local music, and sometimes you want the plugs regardless of how loud they are playing...
