'Tinnitus risk' of nosiy nights out - many over-ride the 'safe' levels on their phones
About two-thirds of people are left with ringing in their ears after a night out at a club, gig or pub, a poll suggests.
Campaign group Action on Hearing Loss said the poll of 1,000 adults also showed a third would ignore the "safe level" on their music players.
The group warns that people doing either increase the risk of tinnitus.
DJ Paul Oakenfold urged people to wear ear defenders to gigs and to "turn down the volume".
Paul Breckell, chief executive of Action on Hearing Loss, said: "Listening to loud music for a long time can trigger tinnitus and is an indication of damaged hearing.
"Most people have experienced tinnitus, but those who are severely affected can experience fear, anxiety and feelings of helplessness that affect their quality of life.
