Not taking risks of audio noise exposure seriously. Hearing loss is gradual, and tinnitus often starts as a temporary thing, so it's very easy to accumulate major damage before you realize it's a problem.
I carry around earplugs everywhere I go. It looks a bit weird, but I'm very glad for it.
I strongly recommend Etymotic earplugs. (I have this variety, I think.) While wearing them, basically the only effect is that you feel louder, and I always have them in my pocket, so anytime something gets louder than I'm comfortable with, I just pop them in, and I can still hear fine.
Me too, although they're for misophonia...
