They do wear ear plugs to protect their hearing!. You see, the ear plugs are inside the ear canal so you cant see them!. I wear a hearing aid because I'm hard of hearing on my right ear!. There are hearing aids so small that people cant see because you put them inside the ear canal!. Guitarists wear ear plugs in their ears too!. You have to wear some kind of hearing proteaction because of the loud amps & the decibel levels are too high!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Probably because they've been bangin' there drums so hard for such a long time that loud noises no longer cause discomfort!. Chances are they have some hearing loss also!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
