      Dude, is this a serious post?

      If it is, I think any of the listed for 14 hours a day might be damaging.

      I don't know how much people are going to be able to help you here because I doubt many, if any, of us having an experience acting.

      There's a bunch of actors with tinnitus who continue to do a bunch of action movies: Gerald Butler and Sly Stone are a couple names I can think of. So it can be done.

      I don't think a lot of those scenes will be that bad, pretty sure club scenes in movies are filmed with no actual music in the background, so that's not too bad. For action scenes, I imagine some of the explosions and what not are real so I'd have some good ear plugs (custom musician plugs, or some clear silicon plugs like EARasers are pretty discrette if you're going to be filmed).

      Just take it day by day, have good ear plugs handy and see how you go.
