Also exposure to 15 minutes of loud but not damaging sound has a protective effect against potentially damaging sounds for up to 24 hours

I would love to see the research on this! Could you help me with a link?

the problem I've got is I wear hearing aids, taking them out makes things muffled, use ear plugs and it's even worse, I have to take them out to understand what people are saying to me, I tried the ACS's but it was a pain getting them in and out, I just use generic ones now, wedge the one next to the drummer right in and adjust the other one as required, at least my tinnitus hasn't got any worse

I have similar hearing problems and my iem solutions are:

a) feed bass and monitor feeds and/or ambient mic feeds into a small mixer with 3 band eq, and set that eq up to mimic your hearing aid profile. The cheapest  suitable mixer I found was the Alto ZMX 862.

b) use an intelligent lapel mic with adjustable eq as your ambient mic and set that eq up to mimic your hearing aid profile. The Mackie OnyxGo can be set up with a phone app and this works for me.
