I do wear ear protection at shows. I currently use a pair of Etymotic ER20s that I got for free at the first national meet. They reduce volume significantly, while remaining relatively flat in frequency response. I plan to eventually get custom musicians earplugs made, but the ER20s are pretty good. They're light years ahead of napkins or drugstore foam plugs and only cost about $10-15.
