Yes, Lindsey's kids ABSOLUTELY need to have the earplugs in....as a general rule, 15 minutes of continuous exposure to sounds louder than 115 decibels, such as that produced by loud rock music or sandblasting or jet engines WITHOUT any protection...so for the kids it is very important.
I'm curious though, do his kids have just earplugs (those foamy things stuck in their ears) or do they have like headgear on? I only ask, 'cause Dave Matthews (he's the only artist that I know of who has kids around the same age as Lindsey's) has his daughters wear these headphone looking things when he's out on stage....and the kids are only out there for about 15 minutes to a half-hour tops....just enough to wave to Daddy and have Daddy wave back...(it's really cute to see)
As far as the rest of the fans, it all depends. I usually don't mind the "ringing in my ears" the day after a concert, however, this summer, i'm going to 2 shows in 2 days, so I may be sorry I didn't bring them!!
