In my experience hearing protection doesn't stop spikes. It just takes the spike down a notch from where it would have been with no protection. So it's not a catastrophic spike, but a bad one; not a bad one, but a moderate one; and so on.

Intressting. Most people say you can do "loud stuff" just for aslong as you protect yourself as ur suppose to (and 20-25 DBshould have been enough to go to a kids birthday imo). I do tend to agree with you tho! so i can litterally not do any loud stuff even WITH hearing protection without risking getting permanent worse? :/
