Reply to Hearing Damage

So i went out to the club 5/7 days this last week, and 3/7 the week before that.

After one of the shows at a club with a very loud system, and a DJ who Im pretty sure was red-lining every rise that had a bunch of white noise, I have been experiencing a clicking in my left ear and Im pretty sure it's damaged.

Thinking about starting to wear earplugs to these things, but I dont want to look all weird walking around in a club with earplugs....

Also I am wondering what is a safe decibal range to produce music at while Im in my studio, to reduce further unneccessary damage.

Thanks for any advice!
