Get some of those earplugs that attenuate volume, but not frequency. The custom molded ones where they shoot foam into your ears to take a cast are great (kinky kind of sexual sensation too, btw). They come with -15dB or -25dB removable pads. I finally really started enjoying rock shows when I could hear things and not leave worried with my ears ringing. Also, I never play drums without 'em.

Mine were made by Westone Technologies, and I went to Project H.E.A.R. in my city to get both a hearing test and fit for my custom plugs. They're about $200, but very much worth it. Just don't lose 'em.
