This is probably aged me talking, but most things at small clubs earplugs are probably a great idea. Bigger rooms, especially arenas and amphitheaters really have space for the sound to move around. You're just stuck inside a noise trap otherwise and even if you think you're superman, you really are doing irreparable damage if you see enough shows. Good earplugs shouldn't worsen the sound.
