How to tame...

Dear folks,
I love live music more than my rig or my music collection but lately I started feeling a hearing loss and almost stopped visiting concert venues. I observe it especially when talking over the phone having an effort to recognize spoken sentences and words and at a distance or when someone is not looking at me directly. Is there anything that I can use to tame the loudness at the concert venues? Is there anything I have to do at my work place since it's often getting hard to communicate with me especially over the phone?... Is there anything could be done besides getting a hearing aids at my age of 35?

Several musicians, including Pete Townshend, have suffered damage to their ears from listening to loud music, especially tinnitus. He, and others, now wear earplugs when they play and recommend that concertgoers do the same.
I don't know if I have suffered hearing loss, so I guess I'm lucky. I do remember concerts where I have come home and have had my ears ringing through the next day.
