Get some ear muffs or plugs NOW. Every moment you are exposed you ARE damaging your hearing. You wont realise until its too late. You can still tell tell whats going on around you. If your that concerned you can get noise cancelling ones that amplify normal sound like talking so you can hear perfectly for communicating, but the instant loud noise occurs they cancel that out.

eg. When someone stands 5 metres away you can clearly hear them almost whisper to you but if they clap you cant hear it.
