Fortunately or otherwise ( ;-) ), I still have most of my hearing. My
occasional job requires this as an audio technician. I use a great pair
of headphones for fieldwork which also work great at home. They block
out the external noise as described below. Remote Audio HN-7506 headphones:

I never spent a lot of time at rock concerts in my younger days, actually
I'm not very fond of much rock, anyway. I'm also an occasional
shooter (firearms not films), and hearing protection is a huge issue in
that community. I have several hearing protection devices, the best of
which is actively compensated in such a way that you can hear a normal
conversation but not the impulse noise of a gunshot. That would work
well at a rock concert, because the degree of attenuation is adjustable.
