If that's not possible - musician's earplugs are definitely smart. Matthew – good point – but Ario’s strategy is to move to a position where you can listen to the music comfortably.

Failure to use ear plugs will PERMANENTLY impede your ability to enjoy music. However, standard foam earplugs suck as the frequency response is nonlinear and will mostly just turn the music into a muffled mess. If you want to enjoy live music and not destroy your hearing, invest in some musicians earplugs from etymotic. You can pull out the filters for different levels of attenuation and they sound great. But don't ever let anyone tell you not to protect your hearing. Ario is dead wrong about #1. Failure to use ear plugs will PERMANENTLY impede your ability to enjoy music.
